This is a great topic, Randummy. I'm in a similar position -- well-educated but dealing with a huge gap in employment.
Just wanted to say that you've got the right attitude here. I let myself get bogged down in the feelings of guilt and shame, setting myself up to be an emotional punching bag for others. Please try to stay focused on the things that you are doing right and keep moving forward.
