I feel like a constant burden and disappointment to my family .

Hello, everyone.  I feel like my family and the select friends that know anything about my panic and agoraphobia are laughing and talking behind my back.  I also feel like I am letting my husband down because he is fully responsible for all the finances in the house now.  I feel like my son thinks I am crazy (which is how I feel half the time).  The people who are trying to be understanding, just can't.  I feel like a hypochondriac, which causes me to lie and hide the way I am feeling.  Trying to be "normal" around certain people.  Makes me tired and really never want to go anywhere because at home I can just be myself and not worry about trying to act normal. 
 
Am I alone.
