This is very true. What screwed me is that i started in the hole, and kept trying to drag myself out. If I just stopped for 1 second and realized I didn't have to be back to break even tomorrow, I would have been in such a better place. But, this is the position I put myself in. Definitely take full responsibility for being a complete idiot.

This is exactly what the sunken cost fallacy is. There is no reason why you should be able to get back what you lost, but somehow we all got that instinct. This is a big part of why people have a hard time learning from their mistakes.
