For a long while I fought the idea that I had anything more that an Anxiety Disorder as a stand alone diagnosis. I held this belief very strongly and for a while, if I had control of what I presumed was only anxiety symptoms, I was fine. Slowly, this changed to where having good (almost complete) control of those symptoms did not impact my life enough to make for the quality of life I desired. In other words, things were still no where near "right" for me.
I don't think they are ALWAYS comorbid, but I know they were for me and I was unable to recognize that for a long time. Treating both made a huge difference.
