This is only one form of meditation. It can increase the ability for  
logical cognition and improve one's thinking ability.
 
Another form is to be the witness to the thoughts. This can increase  
the objective facility and enable one to reasonably choose what  
action, if any, a particular thought or thought process would/will  
require.
 
And, when awareness is focused on awareness, well - could blow your  
mind. <grin>snip ->

It is not uncommon to experience emotional lows. The old cliche - 
 'it's always darkest before the dawn' - applys here, my friend.
 
No need to chuck it all. If the depression is cyclic, or chronic,  
then find a healer to help out with that. On the other hand, the mind  
does like to pull its tricks - that is only natural.
 
Persevere. If one form of meditation isn't working, you may need to  
try something else. Or, you may even need to take a small break from  
it. 
 
Oh, yes, you are already connected with everything. Maybe you  
don't "feel" it, but you are. The universe doesn't create us with  
anything other than the stuff of itself. We are not born outside of  
the universe. I know that sometimes life can sure seem to have locked  
us outside and won't let us in. But, please understand, heck, that  
feeling of being separate is only a feeling - it will pass.

Nope, no reason at all. Consider this though, wisdom is born from  
experience. And, what better teacher of compassion than pain?>Hmm, well thanks for listening, I know all I

We can run 
And dodge 
But where can we hide? 
When the Universe wants to play?
