    lost your bearings.  which way was which was all turned around in your head.

    You got turned around. In other words going in the opposite direction. That is, than you wanted to go.

    Also you should phrase that first part: "Last year I was in THE forest."

    Two words that express the meaning of turned around are confused and disoriented.

    you lost your bearings ... you did not know which way was which (north, south, etc) ...

    It means the person's sense of direction got confused and he no longer knew the way to go.

    It means you kept turning in different directions until you weren't sure any more what was the right direction to go. So you got lost.
