If it starts with What if? Its probably an OCD thought. OCD thoughts are ego dystonic, that means they conflict with your character, morals, and character. OCD thoughts also have a sense or urgency. You need to resolve the question or do a compulsion RIGHT now. OCD also hates uncertainty. OCD thoughts are illogical and untrue. But they FEEL true. Hope that helps. The fact that you said "I need an answer" is a good indicator its an OCD thought.

Intrusive thoughts cause discomfort and fear, which seems to be what you’re going through. They’re unwanted and not what we want to be/are.

But how do I distinguish a scary thought from a interruptive thought?

From my knowledge, intrusive thoughts randomly pop up. They can be thoughts or images, scary thoughts I would say you think more on your own

Confused about ocd
How to know if you actually have it or if I’m just making up the symptoms? I have a lot of intrusive thoughts constantly and even have a “theme” but it really surged after I search up what I was experiencing, but then again I search up a lot of what I experience and constantly have to recheck things. My parents say I’m normal but I know I’m not, (both of my siblings have adhd) I find it immensely hard to focus from turning 17-18. Please let me know what you think l! Thanks!
