It seemed like in the past week, it seemed like my frustration in life plus feeling lonely and upset over some trials with hardly any break in them kind of worsened my depression when I was hoping life would ease up a little. I just had to get out and see more people to give me a better perspective. Only when I got out and was able to talk and feel connected did the depression lift. I have had this sense of worthlessness and a tiny bit of neediness. It hasn't been easy to deal with. I get what you mean about the hole deepening. Having distraction has helped, and I have to make sure I'm distracted enough.
