It is an unfortunate way to learn a lesson but at least you won't soon forget it. I read many years ago that "a Limit is your friend" and it is true; I only use Market orders on Big Board stocks where my $$ won't move the needle on the institutional players. If you wish to read about Market vs Limit orders I have added a link to a short article below.

Acknowledging (at least to yourself) and learning from your mistakes is imperative to longer term success in the market. You seem to have that ability already and it will serve you well.

All the best,
