Both words seem to mean *anxiety *, is there any difference in usage?

Zozobra seems to come from the meaning of being capsized or shipwrecked so perhaps it's at the heavy end of anxiety. As in being nearly overwhelmed by the anxiety in comparison to feeling a little anxious?

Just a guess really smile
