What is desperal?

Answer 1

To be desperate is to be in an intense, powerful state of need and distress, tinged with encroaching despair, that arises from the certain knowledge that an absolute requirement for one's sanity, well-being, or even life, is highly unlikelyto be met. A desperate person may take aggressive or self-endangering actions driven by this state. People in this state tend to be wild-eyed, disheveled, and unable to calm down or think/talk rationally.

Answer 2

Desperation is an emotion of extreme worry, that terrible things are going to happen which must be prevented at all costs.
