here's an example of the latest anxiety attack. so long story short i scratched myself and i thought my hands were 'dirty' so then i start thinking like maybe i now have an infection there in the area where i scratched, like a bacterial infection or something. So I get in the shower and spray it with water to clean it and rub it off. The next day my skin is red. now part of me knows its red because  i just sprayed it with water and rubbed it with a towel, but now in the back of my head im like googling "signs of skin infection" , "redness" and now having a second anxiety attack. it really never ends.
