The dictionary defines anxiety as extreme worry or fear about everyday situations.
For example: Do I wear red shirt or blue shirt today? There is an important client meeting and if I wear red color since red is the color of anger- the deal might not come through.
Overthinking about choices of everyday life and these mini-decisions is called anxiety.
Anguish, on the other hand, is defined as extreme pain or agony. It is when you don’t know what you will become and what are you? What are you becoming?
It is a pain- not caused by everyday choices but something much bigger.
Those who feel this anguish can never go back to the feeling of anxiety.
However, once you realise your anguish – can you go back? And go back where- to that same feeling of anxiety? Fear over trivia?
Is it even worth going back at all? Is there an escape upon realisation of your anguish??
I, myself, between one evil and another – would choose ‘anguish’.
