I only just read your previous post and this one. Honestly, you're amongst the last people I know (online and IRL) whom I would consider a failure. As several people commented, finding a job is hard, and I would add that finding a good job is harder, and finding a career you enjoy is an even bigger challenge. At least you have an idea of what you'd like to do, which is more than a lot of people can say.
I can't comment on the Fukitol withdrawal, but I can confirm the "it's this time of life" theory. I go through something similar after every diploma. I can't imagine what it'll be like after my PhD, because then I won't be able to find comfort in going back to school. So I'd say you're ahead of me on this aspect: you're dealing with real life, in your own way, and it's normal to feel doubt and frustration. But you'll get through it - you sound better already.
