So often I will start worrying about one thing which will lead to me worrying about something else which will make me worried about something else. That's the standard garden path anxiety hopscotch. 

Anxiety inception is when my anxiety imagines an anxious situation and then starts to get anxious about another imagined anxious situation that could only happen if the pervious imaginary anxious situation happens within the first one and then it just keeps going. 

I'm sick right now so my brain already has death anxiety on my mind but I just had the thought process of what if messed up the medication &gt; hyperfixate on any bodily sensation &gt; what would I do if I was overdosing &gt; how long could I last if my throat closed up &gt; what if I died? &gt; I can't die because I already paid for an appointment &gt; oh wait they could cancel it if they do it on time &gt; what if no one remembers to cancel it and I still get charged. &gt; Do I need to write a to do list in case I die in my sleep? 

I went from worrying about messing medicine to worrying about if people would remember to cancel an appointment if I can't make it due to dying...  And the being charged for the missed appointment became the bigger anxiety than death.

It's truly impressive how quickly my thoughts can get away from me even when I am paying attention
