Partially - I'm struggling because I know what I should do, and I know what the responsible thing is, and I know what the safe thing is. But I'm having pretty intrusive and repetitive thoughts about things that I know I probably shouldn't do with varying degrees of severity in terms of consequences. I'm hoping these are just intrusive thoughts and that they'll eventually go away. Some of them, though, would be pretty easy to follow through on. The fact that I'm thinking of those things is new to me. My intrusive thoughts usually follow a pattern of more finality, that I know I wouldn't do and have no intention of pursuing. These thoughts would be easier to follow through on.

I guess I'm mostly worried about whether they're all the same, or if these are different because I could do them pretty easily/quickly without much planning or forethought. The fact that I'm not planning is usually reassuring to me about my typical ITs - I'm not sure if these are different, because planning wouldn't really be involved either way. Does that make sense?
