That’s a normal feeling, and one that I think is intended. Disco Elysium is a game that is, fundamentally, about being a fuck-up.

Congratulations that means you are getting into the vibe

The game is least forgiving in the first few days, after that, it really opens out into people remembering the choices you've made in the game. Even if you've still been making bad choices, it's pretty fun from there.
