Lifehacks I use:

If you're ever dealing with thoughts of self harming then just realise it would make other people feel bad and you're intentionally doing it what are you some kind of monster just sit and cry you sociopathic piece of poo poo.

In a rush? No worries, just misplace an inconsequential item you don't even need. The existential dread and realisation you're a horrible person who can't do anything right will induce a panic attack and you'll find it pronto and then you're out the door! In tears and out of touch with reality for a bit, but that's efficiency for you.

Keep loved ones safe by insisting that if you haven't been watching food or drinks like a hawk that they're instantly contaminated and they need to be thrown out. But because that'd be a dick move you don't, and just have to pretend you're okay while blaming yourself for when they inevitably get sick and die. You let this happen. Why would you do this?

I'm wondering how many people in this thread have OCD and how many just live with or interact with people with OCD often.

Edit: I hope it's an even amount.

Actually diagnosed OCD. It ain’t fun.

Same. On the plus side, my house is neat and tidy*!

Just blurt out your deep trauma and anxieties, but then after a beat just add "I'm just kidding haha" and brush off anyone who checks on you.

That way you can vent, but absolutely no one needs to deal with it!

this is doubly effective, because they’ll stop checking in on you, saving valuable time

And then you can move on to a new set of people and tell them how everyone always abandons you and you have no idea why. I call this The Migration.
