Are you feeling desperate?

Desperation consists of mental, emotional, and behavioral exhaustion. It means being tired of many accumulated disappointments and sadness.
Desperation is a poison that turns off your hopes, motivations, and energy little by little. It’s the scab that permanent disappointment leaves and the thorn that makes you breathe through bitterness until you’re immersed in a dangerous psychological trap. In the long run, this state makes you extremely vulnerable to depression and other emotional disorders.
In their day-to-day clinical practice, doctors know that many psychological conditions have established interventions that can help people. For example, they know what therapies and strategies to offer patients with anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and phobias, among other conditions.
However, other realities are real challenges for professionals to deal with. This happens when someone shows up saying they’ve lost their meaning in life. They feel trapped by desperation and suffer emotionally without really knowing why.
This type of disorder doesn’t always appear in the DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders). Many of these patients haven’t yet crossed that line in which a clear clinical conditional manifests. However, they’re lost in the abyss, on an edge that requires quick intervention.
If there’s one thing that all psychologists know, it’s that desperation translates into a loss of vital significance. It’s that dangerous and irrational belief that everything, absolutely everything, is lost.
