souls anguish in the purgatory
A mix of shock, incredulity, grief, and powerlessness. Most of us don’t actually feel this emotion in our lives.
My parents were murdered last night. Now all I can feel right now is anguish.

Hey you racist, you would look great with a necklace of anguish!
Peripheral anguish is a profound emotional state characterized by intense feelings of pain, distress, and suffering that are felt at the edge of one's consciousness. It is a sense of deep unease and discomfort that lingers just beyond the reach of conscious awareness, yet remains a constant presence in one's life. Peripheral anguish can manifest in many forms, including anxiety, depression, loneliness, and a sense of emptiness or meaninglessness. It is the feeling of being lost in the world, disconnected from others and oneself, and struggling to find a sense of purpose or direction. This type of anguish can be particularly insidious, as it can go unnoticed and unaddressed for extended periods, leading to a sense of hopelessness and despair. Those who experience peripheral anguish may feel trapped in a cycle of emotional pain, unable to break free from its grip. It is a powerful and debilitating force that can have a profound impact on an individual's well-being, making it crucial to seek help and support to overcome it.
I feel this overwhelming upset, that can only be described as some sort of peripheral anguish.
