Yea, if you can't take the bad days, you shouldn't be doing this sorta stuff, because shit happens. Pick up the pieces and salvage what you can. (many of those stems can be taped, tied and repaired) It wasn't done in vain, and just because something didn't turn out smooth/stellar you don't give up, or give in.
Doing so would be extremely weak.
Learn from it. adapt, change, reorganize, improve. I could pick apart how you kinda set yourself up for all of this just looking at the way those plants were pruned, It's not rocket science, and those plants just looked like they were asking for a big wind to come and tear them to shreds. Plants get very stiff an brittle at the end, we all know this by now. The tomato containers were certainly a good idea, but no ropes, no tie downs, nothing.
Just four big branches protruding from a stalk that's had it's main cola chopped out, right at ground level point, which worked as a mechanical fulcrum to destroy your plants.
I'm not saying that wasn't a smart idea, but not reinforcing, staking it down well enough was certainly an oversight on your part. Learn from it, and don't repeat the same error.
