troubledness

State of unease

The state of being troubled—experiencing distress, worry, or agitation.

Troubledness captures an ongoing condition rather than a passing moment: Her troubledness was evident in the way she couldn't sit still.

The word is uncommon, with "distress" or "anxiety" typically preferred in most contexts.
