Daisy, my sweet, you're judging yourself waaaay too hard. I'm sure he doesn't even realize the weight of the conclusions you've drawn. And while he may think you had some insight, since he's always trying to get you to let go of some of the responsibility for things, I doubt he'd agree with what you're thinking.
If someone here was thinking about themselves what you're thinking about themselves. If your son (I hope that's right - a son?) was thinking about himself what you're thinking about yourself. What would you tell him? Would you berate him for causing his own unhappiness?
Be as kind to yourself as you are to others. (And I've seen you be waaaay kinder to others here on the board, myself included, than you're being to yourself right now.)
If you really can't sleep, can you write down all the things you're thinking and then look at them as if someone else had written them. And think about what you would say.
