I gave my cat back to the rescue but I think I made a mistake

I’ve been feeling lonely lately and I wanted some companionship, so I decided to adopt a cat. I was fully prepared to take care of a cat and I had the means to do so. I went down to the shelter and I adopted a 2 year old male black cat. He was cuddly and playful and everything I thought I wanted in a cat. I do not know what it was but he gave me the worst anxiety I have ever had in my life. It was so bad I couldn’t sleep, I didn’t want to come home and sometimes when he would meow at me I would just break down crying because I was so overwhelmed by him and he wouldn’t stop meowing. I decided that my mental well-being was more important than having a cat so I called the rescue and explained to them the situation. They were understanding and said they would take him back. After that phone call, I was relieved. I didn’t have anxiety about him for two days. Today I had to take him back to the rescue and I cried because he was such a sweet cat. Now as I’m sitting here typing this out, I miss him. As annoying and anxiety inducing as he was, I miss having him laying in his cat bed while I do stuff on my computer. I keep telling myself that what’s done is done and that this is the best decision. I don’t think I can even get him back if I wanted to. I just need some other people’s perspective on this.
