I have an anxiety disorder and I sometimes wonder if Dukkha could be viewed as anxiety. In other words in the four noble truths: This is anxiety. This is the cause of anxiety. This is the cessation of anxiety. This is the path of practice of anxiety. Isn't Dukkha really just a form of anxiety? Anxiety about emotional pain and even the suffering associated with physical pain is probably anxiety, horror at the pain and the risk of death. I don't know. I think this could be a translation of Dukkha. But maybe I should just use it myself because I have an anxiety disorder...
