i know that phobias cause anxiety, however do you think people who suffer anxiety are more likely to suffer phobias. i have a number of phobias - caterpillars (don't even like writing it down!), bridges, stairs with gaps in, heights .... they make my stomache sink etc. and get the rapid heart beat, nausea atec.

i also have social anxiety -are we more predisposed to all types of nervous disorders? If i get to grips with my SA will i become more comfortable in my phobic areas?

perhaps I'm just a general worrier and have a myriad of stupid anxieties!
