angsty

/ˈæŋsti/ adj

Fraught with angst.

Word Origin Angst comes from a Germanic root meaning 'fear' or 'anxiety', and the PIE root *angh- meant 'tight' or 'constricted' — you can almost feel the chest tightening. That's why anxiety and angina (chest pain) share the same root. Angsty is the adjective form, like 'full of angst'.
