Letting your feelings guide your decisions when it comes to choosing which stakes to play is almost always a mistake.

This is a more concrete way to choose your stakes, but it's not the whole story.
A good BRM strategy includes a plan for when to move up in stakes, as well as a plan for when to move back down.
Different people have different levels of stress associated with their total number of buy-ins for their BR. I recommend choosing move-up and move-down goals which minimize your own stress as to how much importance you put on winning or losing any single buy-in on an all-in play.
Winning or losing any single hand is literally nothing to concern yourself about. Whether or not you played the hand to the best of your ability is the concern. How the cards hit the table after each decision is irrelevant to whether or not you are making winning decisions. Choose your BRM strategy to acknowledge this fact. Choose it so that you can comfortably lose or win any given all-in hand.

Not for nothing, but if you are employing a robust BRM strategy, it is not evident from your posts. Your assertion that your decision to switch stakes was motivated by your feelings is a red flag which usually indicates an impulsive player who is not making well-reasoned decisions based on concrete data.
Try to maintain the humility about your current skills which motivated you to post in the first place. I know you admit to making mistakes and are comforted by the notion that everyone makes mistakes. This is true, but you would not have posted if you were not trying to be humble about your actual skills.
