How to use "Desperately" in context?
There are few things as frustrating and demoralizing as feeling like you're at the bottom of a hole. You're stuck, surrounded by obstacles, and it seems like there's no way out. When you are desperately trying to climb out, your effort is fueled by a mix of hope and desperation. Hope because you know that if you keep trying, you can make it. Desperation because you know that if you don't, you might miss your chance and stay stuck in the hole.
When you are desperately trying, your focus narrows down to the task at hand.
