HI Rob,
having a mental illness is nothing to be ashamed of - it's a sickness like any other sickness. I'm sure your family senses something and they would rather have you be honest with them. Anxiety is a very treatable condition and responds well to medication and behavioral therapy. It's not a sign of weakness so don't feel bad. Please tell your doctor how you're feeling, so you can start feeling better. Best of luck.
