Netflix Anxiety 

The fear of your favourite films and television shows being removed from Netflix. Sufferers often watch the films in question to an excess, even if they are not in the mood to watch said film, for fear that it will be removed before they can watch it enough.
Bob: I haven’t seen Mike lately.
John: Yeah, poor guy has Netflix Anxiety. He’s been glued to his computer watching Twin Peaks re-runs over and over.

Bob: Why?
john: Since he found out it was on Netflix he’s been watching it religiously just in case they take it off before he can completely enjoy it.
Bob: Poor guy.

Social anxiety 

When people fear social situations with strangers, People without it, don't understand it. Were not freaks or weirdos we're normal. I know i shouldn't be afraid of nothing but i am.
IT SUCKS!
Social anxiety is when...You walk into a party, and you never make eye contact with anyone, you sit around by yourself and sweat non stop, then you sneak out the back door and go home.

Wasted-anxiety

The direct translation from the Norwegian word fylleangst. It is the horrible mix of feelings you get after a really drunk (typical Norwegian) night out and you might or might not remember what you have done. If you remember, the feelings are there because you were so stupid. And if you don't remember it is usually even worse because you have no idea of what has been done or said and the only clues you have are for example pictures found on your (or others') cameras/phones or items found in jacket/purse/on the floor. Or in your bed. The feelings may vary between extreme embarrasment, regret and pure anxiety (especially if the memory is blank). Doubts about whether friendships are still friendships may also arise - and also doubts regarding your own dignity and selfworth.
Waking up after a really wet night, realizing that you are wearing someone elses underwear and you cannot find yours neither remember how you got that pair on. The first feeling apart from the nausea from the hangover is the wasted-anxiety that makes you want to just stay in bed for a week. Apart from the fact that it's not your bed and you just want to get the hell out of there, which increases the wasted-anxiety to maximum level.

email-anxiety 

When there is so much shit going on at work or in your personal life that you are scared to check your email, fearing that emails will just bring more shit that you will be unable to handle. Also related to blink-and-boom conditions with emails, where you blink and 10 emails drop in your inbox, while you were still responding to the last 50. In blink-and-boom situation, your delirious mind starts to think that somehow the blinking is causing more emails. So you stop blinking - hoping that emails will stop coming or senders of those emails will look at your red teary eyes, have mercy on you and stop sending more emails ( hardly ever works, but give it a shot ).
Email-anxiety killing me this morning Yo ! Who knows what kinda crap awaits me !
