realistic anxiety

…Anxiety came to be regarded as a warning signal sent by the ego in response to an external or internal danger. The anxiety the ego displays in response to an external danger is called realistic anxiety, and the ego's isolated and helpless state in response to an internal danger, i.e., an internal urge (sexual urge + aggression) that the ego cannot process, gives rise to neurotic anxiety. However, it is not simply the rise of internal urges that is dangerous, but rather the very possibility that they may actually lead to the fear of castration or the loss of the object that makes them dangerous. …

From [Anxiety]

…Writers who often use anxiety as a theme and deal with the absurdity of human beings include Camus, Kafka, and Hesse.
[Anxiety in psychology and psychiatry]
Anxiety that occurs when there is an object or situation that induces anxiety is called "realistic anxiety," while anxiety that occurs when such an object or situation does not seem to exist is pathological anxiety, which is the subject of clinical psychology and psychiatry. In either case, anxiety is accompanied by more or less physical manifestations such as chest tightness, palpitations, rapid pulse, sweating, and the need to urinate or defecate.
