Life Vertigo

The sensation when the thought of the rest of your life is overwhelming, dizzying, and usual terrifying, often with strong tones of existential angst.

This is very likely to occur at the time of a quarter-life or midlife crisis, or at the moment of a great change in life - new child, divorce etc.

I couldn't get to sleep last night, I had a terrible case of life vertigo.

Anechoke

When you have a good anecdote that is apposite at a particular point of a conversation but then the subject of the conversation is frustratingly changed before you can say it, thus rendering your anecdote irrelevant.

"I had a really good story to tell about that, but then his friend told another story and the subject changed so I got totally anechoked."
