I have OCD, specifically, OCD focused on harming others or otherwise acting inappropriately in a way that harms myself. I've written a description of my experiences here:

If:
A fear of mine
That I have because of OCD
Which is a "major fear"- with significant consequences for my life
In my judgment "comes true" by the end of the year, I will resolve this market yes.
I have OCD, not psychosis, and so it is rare (though not unheard of) for me to be delusional about a matter in the medical sense of delusional. I will not resolve the market on a hunch. "Coming true" in the sense I mean it is a very definite thing. Therefore, I think the risk of me resolving the market in the positive by error is very low. However, just in case, if I am considering a positive resolution I will wait 1 month to do so- to verify there is indeed a major impact on my life.

@Siebe the sense of "harm (my)self" here is not self-harm in the psychological sense, but something more like imprudent, reflexive or unconscious behaviour that causes me serious difficulties. In that sense, I have "harmed myself" before, but not in a way that relates to my OCD fears, or at least not relates to my fears and is in any way serious.
@Bayesian I don't believe so. Perhaps there have been some things which if you squint at them maybe look like that, and which maybe I would have said yes at the time? But I don't think even that is true, no,
