Welcome!
I'd second everything Pegasus said. Therapy has a good record at helping with what you're describing. Sometimes medication is also useful in conjunction with therapy. Have you asked on the medication board?
Therapy has helped a lot with my OCD. But I also take Risperdal (an antipsychotic that I take for its effect on anxiety) as needed. I take Lamictal as well, but it's prescribed for migraine prevention. Still, it probably has mood stabilizing effects. Different people respond differently to medications, but Risperdal seems to suit me.
