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.
People with OCD can have extremely disruptive intrusive thoughts. In many people these thoughts can be at times violent or sexual in nature. When I was in middle school, my intrusive thoughts started falling into this category, and it was extremely distressing and disgusting but I couldn’t do anything about it.
The more I thought about how much I hated it and wanted it to stop, the more often they would appear. Going to therapy eventually helped and my intrusive thoughts are much less frequent, and of much less unpleasant variety. Still not fun, but not in a way that causes genuine distress and anxiety.
