You could say something like: I couldn't help but ponder the litany of my failings.

a usually lengthy recitation or enumeration a familiar litany of complaints

a sizable series or set a litany of problems

Along the same lines, catalog and host would also work. "I worked through the catalog of my failings", or "My life consists of a host of failures"
