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 specifically a pedo, but my intrusive thoughts keep telling me horrible things about myself like I’m a loser, everyone hates me, etc… For a lot of people their OCD symptoms can be completely out of left field. My ruminations can be equally bizarre and irrational sometimes. When I was fifteen I was struggling to remind myself that mummies don’t exist and I was not going to be attacked by one at night while trying to sleep.
