Do you ever make mistakes?

I just passed in my first ever solo analysis for my first job out of college literally moments ago. I’m shitting bricks. It was a full scenario analysis for different buy options of a potential deal my MD asked me to do. I did my best but my anxiety is kicking in heavy right now. Worried I’ll get an email from my boss that I made mistakes. Do you guys ever make mistakes on models? Is it normal to be this stressed out about it all the time?
