It is no surprise both Anxiety and Addictions have a tendency to feed off each other.

If you suffer from anxiety, you may be tempted to turn to substances, alcohol, gambling or food to cope with your symptoms.

If you suffer from an addiction, you often experience anxiety, hence, it makes sense to treat both.

Anxiety often presents as irritability, restlessness and a difficulty in concentrating. Left untreated, it has a tendency to intensify and normal everyday problems become unmanageable.

Family, money, health and possible future tragedies become an excessive worry.

You may find yourself procrastinating more and suffering panic or anxiety attacks. Avoidance of social situations and events and feelings of awkwardness can normally develop, completing the cycle of misery!

In certain situations, you could find you obsess regarding order or counting, personal comfort or security or maybe germs, dirt or touching. You may find these obsessions become a daily ritual and present as an uncontrollable negative trance state which you are unable to break.
