I feel like an idiot as always

...See more I feel completely horrible. I have anxiety never known a time I didn't. But something happened today bit of context. I noticed my dog was itching a lot so I'm thinking allergies simple right, so I gave him a medicated bath. That's when he started wining and scratching more im thinking that I've just made it worse so I panic and get his clippers and shave the area he most itching so I can apply ointment directly on his skin. He keeps wining. So I'm thinking I'm such an idiot and I've made it worse I'm the reason why my dog is uncomfortable and in pain, and that I'm this completely inadequate person to look after my dog that I'm stupid and should be trusted. My rational side of my brain is like no you did the right thing that I may have irritated him more but its was for the best to be able to make him more comfortable.
