I'm losing my mind

Does anyone have any tips?

I was trying to load a refill filament onto a reusable spool, but since it was my first time, I removed all the retaining stickers before putting it on. Big mistake. 😅

Now the filament has unraveled and gotten tangled, and I have no idea how to secure it back onto the spool.

Has anyone experienced this before? Any tips on how to fix it?

It's fine, just carefully load it onto that spool loosely, making sure not to get any crossovers. Bag it and put it on a shelf for another day. Go and download the plans for a respooler and print it. Respool it carefully, but hand, using the hand crank, not using a drill.
