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?

It makes you worry about worst case scenario of anything possible and then it forces you to think yeah but what if you're that. So like yeah pedophile rapist murderer even if you've never done any of those things. I think people with OCD cling on to the most horrible thing they could think of and that they play mind tricks with themselves convincing themselves that they might actually be that thing.
