Your writing (in a second language I assume) shows that you are mature, intelligent, emotionally sophisticated and sympathetic. This is going to be highly appreciated by employers when you go back to work! Can you pick an area that's somewhat related to your MEng or BI areas and just do whatever job in a decent company for a while, make yourself known as a capable and intelligent person, in order to be in a position to look out for a more appropriate opportunity?
I quite like the suggestion that someone else had in this thread of traveling for a little bit. Take a trip somewhere crazy before you go back to work, a less developed country you've never been to before. And yes probably try moving to a new city for the new job. I think this is going to be fine; take a deep breath and remember it will happen slowly, but all the time remember that it's not easy for employers to find thoughtful people like you, especially if you can combine that with some technical skills in an area of your choosing.
A new romantic relationship and even family is obviously still possible! I'm sure you know that. Make sure people see the thoughtful, positive, mature, and intelligent side of yourself.
