I let my performance on this job ruin my happiness. advice?

An 1 that hit the desk 3 months ago and sheesh it has been tough. The steep and harsh learning curve that everyone tells you about is no joke. I am not sure if I am just extra sensitive, but I get really really bummed out when making mistakes. I am trying my best to jot down the mistakes I make and to not repeat them, but everyday theres a new mistake I learn and it just shatters my mood for the day. Any advice or others in my shoes? I don’t even care about being top bucket, just I guess really nervous about my perception and others thinking I am incompetent(which I might be lol) Thanks
