Rise and Shine. The only problem is, can you shine? Can you shine with this immense feeling of gloom welted in your chest? Outside is beautiful, the sun is showcasing its iridescent glow, oddly enough the world surrounding you is the darkest and bitterest you have ever imagined. A surreal amount of sorrow filling your mind finding its way to down to your body. I know – getting up is the hardest part. As you begin to feel a tingling sensation in your limbs making it impossible to wake. Then before you know it your body is numb. Now you’re starting to go into a complete body shut down but push. Just push through it. Trying to find the motivation within you to get you started on an already, (for lack of a better word) s---ty day. Near you have realized a funk in the air. The reason being is not because you have not showered yet, (which you might want to do soon) but a funk you cannot quite shake. A sense of complete and utter discomfort has taken over and all you want is a clear understanding of the emotional strain that is taking hold of you.
With numerous possibilities that can factor into a feeling of this sort such as, a stressor, a death, a medically related reason or even just the everyday struggles of life. Not one person in this world has dodged the troubling effects of a big guy named LIFE. The world is filled with odds and ends that aren’t always in our favor. It happens to the best of us but as of right now, as in RIGHT NOW you’re experiencing the troubling effects of being in a Hanudyis state of mind.
In 450 A.D the English language was both established and expanded in the land of Germany. It soon branched out into three separate languages; Old English, Middle English, and Modern English. All three versions are made up of prefixes and suffixes commonly from Latin and Greek languages. The current English language is thought to be the most complex language thus far. The physical creation of this word was inspired the Somali language, it uses the word Hanuun as a reference for suffering. While the suffix –Dyn came from the Greeks meaning pain. The Somali language is unwritten and to have it be the basis of a term for such a complex language, merging these two languages created a diverse word for the English language.
Hanudyn; the emotional discomfort caused by a tragic event or obstacle. Medically defined as a state of physical discomfort to agony transferred to the brain neurons. Hanudyn can be used to describe both physical and emotional pain. Initially the meaning behind the word came from different strands of misery and emotional distress. The correct pronunciation of the word is “Hahn-u- din”.  Transforming into an adjective Hanudyn would be Hanudyis.
“Bill Nye the science guy experienced a Hanudyis accident with the dry ice clamping to his hand.”
Synonyms to Hanudyn are pain, suffering, misery, struggle, hardship, hurt and sorrow. Some examples of antonyms would be happiness, joy, content, cheerful, glad, and merry. Taking into consideration different synonyms would be used for the medical definition such as, affliction, ache, illness, malady, malaise, and mental sufferance. Antonyms would consist of good health, strength, contentment, ease, and wellness. People who can use this word in context would be doctors and therapists when describing a patient who is showing symptoms of depression. Also Hanudyn can be used as an everyday word to describe feelings of pain. The connotation of the word Hanudyn word explains a sense of emotional hardship one is going through. As for the musicality, experience it by breaking down the word. Start by saying it aloud, beginning with “Han”; a strong sound emphasizing a powerful emotion. Leading into the “U”, which connects the person to the definition; now this powerful emotion is involving you. Lastly “Dyn”, ending briefly with all the short pronunciations of letters indicates a complication or predicament. As well as the way the “y” is pronounced as a small accent expresses sadness and sorrow.
Over time this word will be used as an official medical term for the diagnosis of patients. Within the future development, medically one could have a symptom of Hanudyn. For example, Cynthia notices her husband Bill has been severely down lately so she suggests going to the clinic. Without refusal Bill sets up an appointment. Speaking to Dr. Hartford, Bill explains the immense feeling of sorrow and discomfort not only emotionally but also mentally. Dr. Hartford explains that Bill is facing the effects of being in a Hanudyis state of mind. Wendy Williams, famous talk show host commented in a negative light on the state of Robin Williams’s death. As she stated, “For a man with a million dollars wants to take his own life don’t praise his ungrateful exit of the world.” A woman in the audience stood to his defense, “The amount of money held in his estate doesn’t regard the fact that he was experiencing an extreme case of Hanudyn, to him the only way to be free of this pain was to remove himself from this Earth.” Although this term will be considered a rather serious diagnosis there will also be a casual usage of the word to describe natural pain and the hurting of one’s emotions. There is slight caution with the casual usage of the word, if it becomes more casual than medically defined a controversy will have formed. Hanudyn will lose its initial meaning if it becomes so casual it is a word of slang. This situation will create a large negative impact on the potential growth in the medical field. 
Struggle has played a large part in my life, the different versions of pain and hurt through the years caused the discovery of this word. Stressing the emotional discomfort, this word describes the internal pain caused by traumatic experiences in life. Although Hanudyn was created from different languages, its originality sparks from within. The hidden background behind the word emphasizes the true sorrow and suffering one could feel interpersonally.   Hanudyn is a word people of all cultures can understand and relate to. Despite the fact that there are many words and expressions across a spectrum of languages to describe emotional pain, but everyone has felt Hanudyn at one point in their lifetime. Languages can sometimes be a barrier between people but the meaning behind it is what brings people together. The common ground of being in a Hanudyis state of mind creates a relation between different types of people essentially uniting the world.  If Hanudyn is one day used as a universal word for emotional pain progress can be made: toward a happier society consisting of communication and social development.
