No, because there is nothing to forgive. You had a thought in your head and you reacted to it and you are now suffering over it. This it pretty much what Buddhism is about, the Buddha would have been happy that you have begun on you journey. Try to learn the basics and don't start by taking the subject to seriously. Brad Warner is a 40 something Zen Priest and if you read his Facebook page you might think he was a teenage boy with a teenage boys humour, it's not all about the po-faced. Buddhism can be for everyone and can be fun
