Have you tried an antipsychotic?
It makes emotions (but not anxiety, not directly) less meaningful/powerful. Indirectly that reduces anxiety (and with that the desperation). It reduces the need to express your emotions, your impulse, because they affect you less strongly. You have time to think and your beliefs are more stable.
