Speculation: The stresses and transitions of the past several years have eroded your personal resiliency. Your 'autonomous' psychological reflexes are pulling you back to recover. For some reason the presence of people you know better is more stressful than that of strangers.
Have you considered talking to a doctor? A therapist? Here is a common screening test for depression (it's just a screening test; it's not diagnostic):
PsychCentral Depression Quiz
Also, you can check out the
Sanity Score Quiz
Make yourself at home, Reddoor.
