Hi pam and 
to the forum, glad you have chosen to come here to talk about your condition, it takes a lot of courage to contact people and tell them about your psoriasis. Here you will find a great bunch of people with psoriasis in common. I would go and see your doctor as it is a very common condition and the worst he will do is refer you to a dermatologist who will know straight away if it is psoriasis.
There is a treatment out there that will control the condition. On this forum you will get friendly understanding people who will tell you of their experience and how they're controlling it. On here there are lots of posts on natural and prescribed treatments that are available and you have probably noticed there are no annoying ads to view or links to other sites.
We are all here to help each other and I hope you will keep coming and let us know how things are going.
I would "come out" to family and friends most people will be supportive and when it's out it will be a load off your mind, and if you can get a positive attitude it will help, stress is bad for psoriasis so try to stay calm (easier said than done)
Stay strong
Jim
