<br/><br/> "Do misery addicts such as Sanja deliberately choose misery? Not really....It works like this. As things go well, anxiety builds inside Sanja. Eventually, she has to do something to make the anxiety go away. Two options will be most vivid to her: to return to a mind-altering substance or activity that feels temporarily soothing, or--more likely--to sabotage the flow of good. Either choice reduces the anxiety that positive feelings provoke in her." (COUNSELOR) This article explains addiction to misery, its causes, effects and treatment.
