Generalized Anxiety Disorder 

A mental illness that involves excessive, exaggerated anxiety and worry about everyday life events. It differs from regular anxiety in the way that little worries are over analyzed to the point of a possible anxiety attack which is very similar to a panic attack.

Some symptoms are:
fatigue
ongoing worry
unrealistic view of problems
headaches
sweating
trembling
difficultly concentrating
being easily startled
insomnia

AKA: GAD

generalized abstract nonsense 

The term "generalized abstract nonsense" is usually jokingly (and endearingly) applied to topics in mathematics of very high abstraction level, mostly category theory. It probably refers to the fact that some concepts in category theory can abstract away so far from the actual mathematical structures that are described as to lose all connection to the actual meat of the matter.
Yoneda's lemma is just generalized abstract nonsense.
