look at how bad my tranny fluid was, ew

okay i will. Yes, you're giving me hope! thank you all for the comments

So I was doing my first oil change ever on my 2009 impreza today. I drained the "oil", put on a new filter, put in more oil, then checked the dipstick. I was suprised to see that the dipstick said my oil was way above normal full capacity. I only put four quarts in too. So i checked a couple more times throughout the night, same thing! I eventually take it for a drive, when I immediately notice the car took about 3 or 4 full seconds to get into gear. Then when i actually put my foot on the pedal, the revolutions go up but the car is only moving marginally as fast as it should. So i continue driving for about 200 meters, when i realize okay. Something is definitely wrong. I drive it back home and immediately park it. Then of course, i check my other fluids and see that my transmission fluid is totally empty and that I must have drained that. So stupid of me, but honestly, the transmission fluid was both of the same viscosity and colour as regular oil. As well as that, the tranny drain looks exactly like the oil drain and isnt labeled at all. Im Going to get some fluid tomorrow morning. My main question is, did I totally destroy my transmission by driving it 400 meters with no fluid? it wasnt acting ABSOLUTELY horribly, but it was definitely jerking and the revolutions were going all over the place. Is my car dead?
