Trigger mortis 

A spasm of regret, often originating in the index finger, immediately after hastily sending an email or a text message that may, on reflection, be inappropriate.

A certain lockjaw of the thumb, resulting from playing too aggressively during button mashing video games. Most often associated with heated matches of Mario Party.

That phenomenon when you go to shoot yourself but you are frozen stiff and can’t manage to pull the trigger.

I guess triggermortis just kicked in when I thought about the prospect of being dead.
