Hi Herman,
As in Sartre's La Nausée ? (an excellent book not for people already
suffering from depression / anxiety)

Joy, is this enlightening ?

concerning 'jigs.pa.', "fear" :

That concept may have a forerunner in the 
(sanskrit equivalent of the) pali notion of 
'samvega' ('sa^mvega' in Velthuis code).
That word denotes the emotion that is the effect 
of the full realization of suffering - old age, 
sickness and death and a host of minor troubles - 
and is crucial for wanting to turn away from samsara.
Venerable dutch pali-translator Rob Janssen in a 
conversation some years ago playfully translated 
that term in french as 'nausée', no kidding.
