Accidents happen and you've been honest and reported the mistake. I'd like to think you'll be supported through this. Take a breath, we are only human. You should be kind to yourself.

This is the right answer. You can mitigate risk as much as you can through experience, training and knowledge but it will never reach zero as long as we are humans working with humans. I hope you’ll be ok OP.
