All of your "shoulds" and "shouldn'ts" are reasonable - if you take away the self-blame that comes along with them, and make them things to keep in mind about yourself.

Being mindful is okay. Rehearsing all of your mistakes over and over again sets up a negative loop, reinforcing depression and stress. Making mistakes is only human, and you're allowed to be human.

Do take care of yourself. That includes sleeping, exercise, music, and socializing with the people that are important to you and your family.

Get what you can get done, as best as you can. I agree with what wyld dandelyon said about a checkup for you regarding sleep, and what hsifyppah said about standards you set for yourself in the past.

Hugs.
