These thoughts are not stupid. In fact, that you can’t stop thinking them shows that you have the virtue of not being able to ignore obvious truths due to them seeming weird and having unpleasant consequences. You should remove the stupid tag from these ideas and instead apply it to whatever heuristic incorrectly marked them as stupid in the first place!
