You are not an awful person, you are just human and human is to err.
Mistakes are part and parcel of the human nature and so we can never escape them. What defines us is how we correct them and strive to never do them again. Repeating the same mistake is awaful but that also does not make you an awful person, that makes you a person who has fallen again and needs to put more effort in avoiding the repeat of mistakes.
Most people loose their self esteem partially or totally due to a mistake they have done once or severally. The loss of self esteem makes it harder to correct the mistake and not to do it again. This is because you will not concentrate anymore on correcting your mistake but you will concentrate on how bad a person you are and how you will never change and be a good person who doesn't do or repeat mistakes.
So from today onwards, learn to embrace your human nature; someone who is prone to making mistakes and sometimes repeating them. Then love yourself enough to forgive yourself for the mistake and strive to never do it again. Also, love yourself for hating yourself for making a mistake or for repeating the same mistake.
