OCD Better or Worse with Age?

TLDR: OCD Better or Worse with Age?
In the forum thread, Lammchen and Soulwatcher discuss their experiences with OCD and its progression over time. Lammchen mentions that symptoms they experienced as a child, which were borderline OCD, have improved with age due to conscious efforts in forming new habits. Now, they no longer feel affected by those past tendencies. Conversely, Soulwatcher shares that they still struggle with OCD tendencies, particularly with the need to adjust objects like computers and TVs repeatedly until they appear straight, indicating ongoing challenges with their condition. The thread highlights individual variations in how OCD manifests and evolves over time.

Have you noticed that your OCD has gotten any better or any worse with age?

There were things I used to do as a kid that was borderline OCD but I've grown out of them. It took a lot of effort in making new habits so I wouldn't do those same things. I really don't even think about them anymore.
 
I am borderline OCD, I have to just keep telling myself it's ok if the computer, TV or whatever is off a little bit. Or I'll keep adjusting them over and over for hours. Until I think that they look straight.
