I just wonder if it actually did get worse or it just seems like that because as an adult you have a lot more on your plate than you did when you were a kid/teen

Never too late to improve - you've still got lots of time to enjoy the benefits!

Have you considered therapy as well? I don't come down hard one way or another on therapy vs medication, but imo talking to a therapist about these sorts of things can be very helpful - especially when dealing with the more "emotional" side of things. Even just knowing how to identify certain emotional patterns or feelings can make a world of difference.

(Obviously you don't have to answer that - feel free to consider my question rhetorical!)
