Anxiety

anxiety Pronunciation Key (ng-z-t) n. pl. anxieties

A state of uneasiness and apprehension, as about future uncertainties.
A cause of anxiety: For some people, air travel is a real anxiety.

That's what it is. Anxiety. That weird uneasy feeling, like I'm going to be sick (but not quite). It comes from nowhere, leaves only when it wants to, and makes life miserable. Damn.
