I don't have much advice for emotional issues but you could try taking stock of how the day went. What was good and what wasn't?
If you have trouble remembering you could keep notes about what you're doing while you work so you can review things later.
If you identify misses on your part, you could start digging into what didn't work, why, and what you could do in the future[0]. Like a mini retro for yourself. Hopefully you'll be able to catch when you're slipping on something and implement a strategy that helps you improve. Are there software tools you could build for yourself to give yourself guard rails or automate error prone tasks? Could you have applied your focus elsewhere to get different results? Do you have knowledge gaps anywhere?
This works for things that are going well too. Are there ways you can increase your velocity or bring helpful stuff to your team?
Keeping notes on tasks and issues talked about during meetings is really helpful too. It's easy to forget details if you get context switched out of things or lots of time passes. Pay attention to what business is doing and other teams are up to too. Sometimes you can see patterns and suggest things that help the larger org in nice ways.
Don't freak out - you got this!
