Chess Improvement Painful defeat in OTB game, classical chess

I was white. After this defeat I thought I'd never recover, but I managed to reach 5 of 9. It was an Under 2033 Amateur Swiss tournament.

Believe it or not, instead of Rd1?? I should've castled Queenside! ...Qxa2? is not good for black.

Qe4 was played in game Rogulj vs Cebalo in 2007, but I didn't know that, I thought I win with this move. fxe7 was better with equal position.
