Broadly speaking, anxiety is an elevated mood; the reason stimulants exacerbate anxiety is the same reason stimulants are contraindicated in people with bipolar disorder. For someone trying to achieve concentration while suffering from an anxiety disorder, a prescription medication like guanfacine might be better if possible; it has an off-label usage for anxiety disorders, and its two main usages are in treating ADHD and lowering blood pressure (neurostimulants like caffeine, by contrast, elevate your blood pressure).
Caffeine withdrawal thankfully only lasts about a week at the worst.
As in the severe symptoms last upto a week? Because I would have expected long term changes such as resistance and mild tiredness without it to last longer.

I’d expect the long term effects to be more psychological. Such as thinking you can only feel awake with caffeine
Physical dependency is only 7-10 days, but the psychological addiction can last for however long your brain decides.
