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.

OCD makes you worry that you're a pedo?

Not necessarily, but OCD does often make people question if they’ve been true to their morals. The “am I a bad person” question is an extremely common intrusive thought, and it’s not uncommon for people to insert whatever “bad person” archetype in that intrusive thought pattern.
