Catastrophous 

An overturning misfortune that turns into a fiasco that makes you lose sight of your original purpose or plan.

OR

In poker terms-When your plan of bluffing with complete air, nothing that resembles a hand, blows up in your face and puts you out of the tourney.

Man, I can't believe that play didn't work against that guy. That was catastrophous

catastrophist 

One who imagines the 'worst-case scenario' as something so completely horrific it borders on absurd. A 'catastrophist' usually starts by saying "Yeah but what if..." then, talking at a normal speed, increases speed until they're talking very quickly as they relate their vision of the 'worst-case scenario' which may involve any (or all) of the following things: A psycho with an axe, getting chopped up into little pieces, ending up homeless and destitute, sucking dick for crack, any number of serious diseases or medical afflictions (See Chuck Palahniuk's "Choke" the main character had catastrophist tendancies)

see also "final destinationism" (yet to be defined)

"Dude, it's one stupid term-paper"
"Yeah but if I don't do well on this one then my GPA falls and I'll never get into a good college and I won't get a good job and that will DEVASTATE my mother and she'll commit suicide and I'll have to take care of my little brother and he'll get Lupus, need a kidney and I will be forced to sell my ass on the street because I can't afford the surgery because I don't have health-care all because I failed this stupid paper!"
"Stop being such a catastrophist, it's not even worth 10% of your grade!!!"

Catastrophoclysm 

Catastrophe + Cataclysm = Catastrophoclysm.

a Catastrophoclysm is an event so epic in its destructive force, that the words Catastrophe, or Cataclysm simply don't cut it.

This is epic, this goes beyond Clusterfuck, this is a Catastrophoclysm!

Catastrophysics 

The branch of physics (specifically Astrophysics) that deals with major events that could cause devastation on a vast scale (usually known as catastrophes) and how to make sure they don't happen or at the very least try and find a way to reduce the impact of any given catastrophe.

News in Catastrophysics: A large Earth-killing asteroid is likely to hit us within the next century and there's nothing we can do about it!
