Hi Pete nice to meet you!
Sorry to hear you're having a rough time, also it sounds like derms in the US are advising to avoid stress by giving up living lol but it's just as stressful having no job and no hobbies!
Not only that, I tried reducing my stress levels by not doing much at all for a couple of years (gave up part time job, gave up lampworking in case I was reacting to the metals in the glass etc) and it didn't make any difference at all.
It can take a bit of getting used to the idea of having psoriasis but there are plenty of treatments to help you, it's just finding what works for you.
