Judging by your words since Friday, you seem to have been hit by it a bit, which to me seems perfectly normal (for people with a conscience.) I personally have scenarios where I messed up from decades ago that I still think about sometimes. Those will always stay with me. I think this is just the process of learning things the hard way.

Let it help you in the future, but don't let it overwhelm you! Forward, and onward.

Thanks for reading and for your comforting words.

Well I don’t exactly regret what I did, but I feel sick to my stomach because I might have compromised my job prospects for my children - all because of students whom I hardly know. Haha

How long does it take you to bounce back from a setback?

"Bounce back" asap, but do allow yourself to explore the mistake (or convince yourself that it wasn't.) That you think about it means you're not a sociopath.

Can't change what happened though, so no point in stalling out.
