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?

@bryer They’re one and the same

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

I’ve been triggered so bad this week I’ve had bad anxiety and feel depression coming on. Last night I had a thought oh let’s plan it and I immediately thought why would I think that and started crying bad. I’ve had these thoughts for 7 months I really don’t know why I’m having these thoughts, if I knew I would work on it. Like people say has something happened in your life for you to have these thoughts and nothing has happened, it all started off from what if thoughts , like “what if I’m a psycho” because I saw this fb post saying introverts are more likely to become psychopaths and it all spiralled from there I started getting thoughts about harm towards others and myself. What do you think guys should I treat it like ocd or do you think there’s something seriously wrong with me.

Soo i need to say this but i struggle with real event ocd but its not things i did but things i thought or things i felt for certain situations or to certain things i like im having trouble telling apart my feelings like i try to sort them like oh this is that feeling but i got the same feeling for two different situations one is good one is bad and i got the same feeling so im just scared why did i have that reaction i guess i just im sitting here analyzing what that feeling is and i genuinely dont know its not anything physical its more in my head and now im checking every moment in the past to see the thought process and what i felt in that moment and im just scared of what i feel
