Self satisfying dejection. Because you would not apply this definition unless you were really into the drama of the moment. I met a mother in Vietnam who had lost her mother, father, husband and two children during the Tet Offensive - she kept asking why, why - that is true desolation when you have no more tears to cry.

As anyone familiar with the Dylan song Desolation Row can tell you, the answer is poverty.
One of the definitions of fester is - To rankle, as a feeling of resentment. Thus seeth would be the appropriate choice.

Anguish, bleakness, or dejection; anything listed in Roget's thesaurus is acceptable.

I would have answered ruination, but (d,) dejection is a good secondary meaning.
