anguish

Anguish is a deep, intense feeling of emotional suffering or distress. It often involves feelings of extreme sadness, pain, or despair that can be very overwhelming and difficult to bear. This experience may arise from situations like loss, disappointment, or fear, and can affect a person’s mental and physical well-being. While it is a natural response to difficult circumstances, prolonged or intense anguish can interfere with daily life and may require support or intervention to manage effectively.
