Feeling blue

[Anonymous]

I'm just sad, I had a great job offer but declined it due to inlaw family issues. This was in the best interest of the company and my family. I wouldn't have been able to be mentally or physically present at the new job. It's been 23 months since the offer and I regret turning down the job offer primarily
because now that I'm looking for a job, I have no leads - been looking for several months in health policy or anything. I did reach out to touch base 1 month and 6 months after job offer with no answer from employer.
I made a stupid choice and I'm resentful of my previous familial situation. I feel like I should have put myself first.

Just here to vent

I hear you OP. I'm also looking for a job in health policy, after taking some time to be a SAHP and nothing has panned out so far. It feels hard to be taken seriously with the employment gap on my resume and it's been tough to keep my spirits up. I want to be proactive but don't really know how to. I'm feeling very blue.
