The best advice anyone can give you, obviously get diagnosed before...

If you have money it's the best thing you can do, I don't have money for medication (I only have enough for depression medication) and I have to manage having OCD without medication.

FWIW the first line OCD meds are antidepressants (SSRIs). If you're not already on SSRI maybe you can look into switching and killing two birds with one drug.

What if I have OCD and don't want to take drugs?
