Stress or being wound up about something is one of the biggest triggers for a flare up, and the start of a flare up brings on the itching. Scratching the itch makes your psoriasis worse, you get more wound up and so it goes. A never ending circle that you just cant seem to break out of.
If you start to feel stressed thinking about what pushchair to buy, stop and take a break away from it for a while. or if possible turn it into something enjoyable like shall I have it Fake Zebra Fur Lined, or should I go for the Crushed Velvet Retro Look. Can you get a nice shiny set of Chrome Wing Mirrors on the handle? Or a Claxon the baby could play with as you're out shopping.
It's all about finding the right balance of sorting things out but keeping calm at the same time. Take time out, the problems will either be gone or still be there when you get back. Or sit on your own and count to 1000 in Russian I always get stuck at восемнадцать
