It's just all too easy to see how just a simple mistake
or two can be deadly in the clouds.

So. Anybody else have a bad flight that made them
question their instrument rating worthiness?

It sounds like a good lesson with a good instructor. It also sounds like
you merely need more practice. As you discovered, doing a good job with the
individual pieces of knowledge and skill doesn't necessarily mean being able
to do it consistently when it's all integrated. It's important during
training to get pushed to the point where you get confused--partly so that
you can learn where that point is, and partly to get experience with
recovering from mistakes. Good luck!
