I cannot take meds for OCD because it induces mania with my Bipolar. I'm 35, but when I was your age the OCD had literally taken over my life. My day was filled with rituals to alleviate the anxiety. I learned CBT which saved my life since I'm not able to take medications. I believe that medications are not a fix all for mental illness, and therapy is very beneficial. I wish you the best. You have such a great attitude
