Nophonophobia 

Definition : The feeling that you experience when you are not able to find your phone and impulsively assume it is lost.

All of us have experienced this at some points of our lives. Some frequently while the other less frequently. If you are an absent-minded person then that increases the chance of you experiencing this feeling, exponentially.

The fear or phobia of loss - the financial loss or the attachment to the device, both are included in this feeling. So the word is multi-layered.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
