No, your problems don't look silly. And no doctor in the world will laugh at them. Do you live near a university? If so, see if you can find a psychiatrist affiliated with the university. I've found them to be really good with medications. And they can refer you to a therapist if they think that would be helpful.
I get really sensitive to touch when I'm not feeling well. I think we're in a constant state of stress and it has an effect on your body. But a good psychiatrist will make sure you get a thorough physical workup as well to rule out any physical problems.
Not wanting to leave the house or find a job, even when you want to, is a classic sign of depression or anxiety. A good psychiatrist will help you sort it all out.
Take heart. It's all treatable. And you'll feel so much better after treatment.
Please call around for a psychiatrist today. There's no need to suffer any longer than you have to. And you have your husband's support to do it!
By the way, a lot of us who have trouble figuring out what to say to our psychiatrists write it down. You could print out the post you just wrote me and bring it with you. Then he should be able to use that to ask you questions that will let him help you in the best way.
Good luck, and don't worry. It's really not as scary as it seems.
