Re crying in work

I have a new (very stressful) job within a company I've been with for a few years. The workload is much higher than it should be for a new starter due to other people unexpectedly leaving the department. I have been ill with something between a cold and a flu for the past ten days (fever, headaches etc not Covid) but due to high work load and wanting to make a good impression I (stupidly) continued working from home rather than taking a few days off to recover. This meant I carried on working up to 10 hour days while Sick on very little sleep and due to lack of appetite very little food. I returned to work on Friday but was exhausted and after a particularly stressful conference call (high maintenance and rude/aggressive client) I actually broke down in tears. I am mortified. Only the two people sat near to me saw (I hope) but one was my manager who took me into a room where I proceeded to SOB. Not cry....SOB!! Like a toddler. AIBU to think that this will negatively affect my career and I'll be deemed unfit to cope with the pressure of the job? Kind of a WWYD also; what, if anything can I do to come back from this? I'm Mortified
