Highlights：
• Momentary fluctuations in using the internet to distract oneself are not associated with depressive symptoms.
• However, moments higher in depressive symptoms are associated with momentary increases in using the internet to distract.
• An average tendency over time to use the internet to distract oneself is associated with depressive symptoms.
• Momentary increases in difficulties controlling internet use are associated with momentary increased depressive symptoms.
• Average difficulties controlling internet use mediated the relationship between distraction and depressive symptoms.
