Feeling like everything’s spiralling out of control, and you’re about to lose it? Desperation makes everything feel like an emergency… even when it’s not. That desperate energy sets your thoughts racing, your heart pounding, and suddenly you find you’re reacting instead of responding. But here’s the truth: feeling desperate doesn’t mean you’re broken or weak. It just means your nervous system is overloaded, and your brain is screaming for relief. So let’s explore what’s involved in overcoming desperation. In this episode of the Let’s Talk About Mental Health podcast I’ll break down what desperation really is, why it hijacks your thinking, and — most importantly — how to interrupt the spiral before it takes over. You’ll learn practical strategies to ground yourself, manage the panic, and respond with clarity instead of chaos.If you’ve ever thought “I can’t take this anymore,” this one’s for you. Because you don’t need to escape that feeling; you just need to stop letting it control your next move.👉 Ready to feel less desperate and more calm? Then let’s talk!💡 TL;DR: When you feel desperate, it can seem like chaos is your only option; in this episode I’ll show you how to take back control before desperation sucks you under. 🙂________________________________⏱️ Chapters/Timestamps:0:00 Desperation and mental health0:35 Feeling desperate3:44 What is desperation?8:53 Why desperation affects you so deeply15:28 How to go from desperate to grounded27:00 Final mental health tips📝 Transcript & show notes: <a href="https://ltamh.com/?p=18029" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://ltamh.com/?p=18029</a> ➕ Related episodes:Hopelessness (Episode 297) <a href="https://ltamh.com/?p=17921" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://ltamh.com/?p=17921</a>How to make peace with the past (Episode 296) <a href="https://ltamh.com/?p=17880" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://ltamh.com/?p=17880</a>Focusing on what you can control (Episode 291) <a href="https://ltamh.com/?p=17492" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://ltamh.com/?p=17492</a>New here? Hi! 👋 I’m Jeremy Godwin, counsellor and host of the weekly Let’s Talk About Mental Health podcast.
