Suggest A Remedy For Depression And Anxiety

I've been afraid to go to my doctor and talk to her about some things because I don't want to sound like a hypochondriac.. I get worried about a lot of things and just don't know which I should be worried about.. I am 19 years old, about 5'3", around 115lbs and have a history of migraines and depression and chronic back pain that was basically undiagnosed.. The main thing I'm worried about right now though is a different kind of pain..or maybe even pain caused by the same thing but I don't know what it could be.. For about a year, maybe more, I've been really sensitive to touch. When people hug me or give me a little pat or squeeze my arm it hurts..WAY more than it should. The pain is mostly on my upper arms and thighs but it travels to the rest of my arms and legs and my neck sometimes. I also feel like I could have RLS, which could just be a symptom of whatever is causing pain on my body, too..but my legs are really restless and I have to move them a lot, especially in my sleep. They cramp a lot, but not too painfully. And I feel like they fall asleep a little too easily.. I could just be crazy, though, so I would like a second opinion, that is not my own, before I talk to my doctor about it..

Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

I think, either you have haphephobia or fibromyalgia. I would go for haphephobia. It is a specific phobia, in which patient has fear for touch, but in your case, you do not have typical feature of haphephobia. In that case, you need psychiatrist consultation for proper evaluation. You need antidepressant and psychotherapy. That would help you to control the symptoms. In case, you need further help, you can ask me.

Thanks
