Honestly, it seems to me that you have some unresolved issues with incompetence/screwing up/goofing up/making mistakes. You do NOT have to feel guilty. If you really have some limiting belief such as "I'm incompetent/a screw up," then you should try to see it for what it really is.

So its not a matter of making mistakes or not, we all make mistakes, its a matter of how you think about them, and what you take from them, e.g. embarrassment or a learning experience?

Thanks for your comments guys. I guess I have changed over the last few years. I don't know where exactly the downward spiral started, but it is clear now because of how bad its gotten.
My self-esteem was at an all time high as I finished college. The future was bright. I got married, got a job, had kids, enjoyed vacations, started saving for retirement, kept my job, kept going to work, worked some more, began hating work, stopped advancing, developed bad work habits, developed bad home habits, became a major procrastinator, somewhere along the line got sexually frustrated, and now I dwell on the bad stuff, because the good stuff seems few and far between.
I am trying to reverse the spiral now. I am as up beat and helpful at home as possible, my sex life is turning around. Now I am really trying to get my work habits back up to par (literally). I'm hoping my self-esteem will come up eventually. Clearly from the guilt I felt over the bad call this weekend, my self-esteem isn't there yet.
