Capable of following through on them?

[JanineParticipant]

Thanks so much for your reply John. I guess I meant that I always thought of them as intrusive thoughts and didn’t like them or attach any urges to them. I kept having them, and got used to them. Alot of the time I don’t want to follow through on my urges, but sometimes I do now, as they’ve become normal and real for me. I don’t know if I’m capable of following through on them. I just get confused as to whether they are always intrusive or not. xxxx
