どうしようもない vs 気がしてならない


What's the difference in using どうしようもない and 気がしてならない. For example:

> どうしようもなく行きたい
>
> 行きたい気がしてならない

I think both of them translate to "I can't help but want to go".




どうしようもなく行きたい means you have an uncontrollably strong desire to go ("I reeaally
want to goooo!! I can't hold it!!").

行きたい気がしてならない means you cannot get the desire out of your head, but it does not
have to be strong ("I don't know why but somehow I do feel like going." / "I
can't help feeling like going.").
