Relationship: I'll link to an interesting site. Causation does not seem likely in either direction but there can be a relationship. They can alternate, maybe even co-exist in different parts of life. In some ways they seem opposite and opposites are related. The pain of either one might result in self-help tendencies to act the other way. Find a good experienced therapist - it may help. Good luck!
