Having killed his mother and incurred the wrath of the Furies, Orestes stands with his hands clasped to his ears as the Furies menace him from behind. Each Fury holds three swords, and all of them are pointed at Orestes.

Overview
experiencing great fear and anxiety
nightmares and fantasies about impending doom that may not manifest but are frightening and painful because of the power of the fantasy
torment through guilt, fears and fantasies of destruction
expecting a terrible future outcome when there are no indicators that such an outcome will occur
fears that can become self-fulfilling prophecies
morbid fantasies about the future spring from guilt about the past
ungrounded fears that can stop one from enjoying their life
understanding the reason for one’s guilt or fear will provide insight that can be helpful in dispelling that fear
Random Thoughts
You’re driving me mad!
a worry-wart
the ultimate in pessimism
a guilty conscience
being afraid of the bogeyman
something that can’t hurt you but can cause you to do harm to yourself

Keyword/phrase that I came up with in my workbook on 14Mar92 was "guilt-driven anxiety about the future".
