Yeah, I have a plethora of such stories and I bet others too, because emotional reactions are inherent to those who only make first steps in trading, so, consequently, each trader has ever encountered emotional turmoils.
Back when I tried trading for the first time, I had only loss streaks, seriously. There were a couple of successfully closed deals, but as you can understand, my margin got devastated each time real quick.
I just continued trading, continued sorting things out like "why I exited the deal so quick not waiting for the better price" or "why I was afraid of entering this deal right when all indicators said me do it"... It has helped me to become way more stable and calm.
