> I’ve decided to combine the words “Digital" and “dystopia” to describe the hole I’ve found myself in.

"Digital" and "Utopia" also combine to make "Digitopia". (Maybe my most HN comment yet.)

I also thought only of utopia.

dystopia is a relatively recent derivative of utopia.

An individual can suffer in the middle of an utopia.

Yep, that's true. I can only give a philosophical reply to this; we feel as we are in an utopia when utilizing tech to distract us from the negative thoughts/feelings that we are experiencing!

Why not digistopia? (digi-topia to me really sounds like digital utopia, which I'm all for... erm, actually I think a real utopia needs to acknowledge the real world, so it can't be fully digital)

Yes. "Digitopia" just means "digital place".
