I guess often the feeling of despair comes from working super hard but still looking at the jarring amount of work ahead. It's not required that you know an answer to everything and finish it all by tomorrow but it's a general sense of running in the desert searching for spots of water here and there, you are worried when you come across long stretches where theres not even a puddle of water and you begin to panic and start asking all sorts of questions like, maybe you've been walking in circles or you start seeing skeletons where those who have walked before you lie. You are getting thirsty but instead of resting you just keep pressing on because the anxiety is slowly setting in. Keep this up and suddenly you aren't able to move very far without considerable amount of effort. No water in sight.
