Trying to survive this tactical mess!

Try 2. e6 against 2. bc4, it shuts a lot of this stuff down since it shuts out the bishop.

Also playing b6 is a little suspect when that bishop can check your king on b5. I usually prefer a6 then b5 or b6 instead.

7. b6 went unnoticed by both players!
Both players made it equal with exchanges in middle.
And after couple of mistakes by White it was Black's game.
You should have ended the game towards the end instead of sacrificing Queen for fun.
