miserableness
State of despair
Miserableness is the state of being miserable—deeply unhappy, uncomfortable, or wretched.
The word covers both the quality of causing misery and the condition of experiencing it: the sheer miserableness of the weather, I couldn't shake the miserableness that settled over me.
Wretchedness or misery are more common choices.
