[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I'm in the same situation you describe, except I didn't turn down a job. A job I (thought I)really wanted didn't work out, and I quickly realized that it was for the best, in the long run. In the short run, I'm still in my terrible job and horrible working environment, but I'm continuing to apply for other jobs and press on.[/quote]

This happened to me - went to a new company that was a horrible fit.  I knew from day 1 it wasn't the right place for me, after 6 months it had begun to wear on me mentally and emotionally.  The feeling of dread would hit me as early as Saturday afternoon because I'd have to go back to work in a day and a half.  I tried to go back to my old job, but a reorg theremade it impossible.  I started applying to other companies, finally landed a position closer to home and for more money and I've happily been there for almost 8 years.  I agree with another pp, Things have a way of working out on the long run.  Good luck pp![/quote]
