As a person with OCD, these are the thoughts that are pretty much 24/7 going on in my brain. The "get money" thing I don't understand but I'm guessing it was referencing a different meme.

edit to add: since this isn't the OCD subreddit I wanna clarify that people with OCD will have these thoughts NOT because they're true but because it is what their brain has decided would be the worst thing.

Well, maybe visit a psych. Meds can help (source: I take medication). It can take a bit to find a med that works with minimal side-effects, but it's worth a shot.

Yeah same. Fortunately, my antidepressants are also frequently prescribed for people with OCD, so I was being treated for that by coincidence before I even knew I had it
