>Desperate makes sense to me. God knows, I've been desperate for help on more than one occasion. However, being desperate for sleep, for instance, doesn't seem to lend itself to being willing to take speed. What good would speed do to make me sleep? I guess the question is more along the lines of "What kind of magical thinking is going on in those of us who take a med that is doing the opposite from what it's supposed to, and we continue to take it? Do we think the med is going to change?".
I also understand being so freaked that I don't trust my own logic and the need for feedback. I would really like it if we supported each other by saying "trust yourself" more frequently. There is no way I can know what another person is experiencing, let alone a stranger on line. To trust one's own perceptions seems to be the thing that's missing. My opinion.
