Can you tidy that please.

[Carmel100]

Apologies, I got two clues mixed up.

Clue 1: There are two words in this clue: "In a favourable position with money inside (5, 2): the first word has five letters: ?U??? and the second word has two letters: I?
Clue 2: "A strain, one with a nervous disorder."
This clue has six letters: A?A?I?

Thanks, Scorpiojo. I suspected Atxia, and am beginning to feel that I'm suffering from it!

Thanks also for this one. An expression I never met before. Don't move in those circles. But it fits the answer perfectly.
