I think that the irrational thoughts can take on many forms. If you feel like the thought is a particularly bad one, then yes I would say that would also cause you to think that something bad will happen to you for thinking it. But in reality, you know in your heart that that is not how life works. Once you get rid of the OCD, you will look back on this and probably laugh...I know I did regarding some of the dark places I went to.
