peripheral void

The Calamitous void in your vision above your eyes but below the top of your head. Especially hazardous to lofty denizens.

What in the name of Josef Fritzl is that mark on your head?

Should've been wearing a helmet mate.

Peripheral 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.
