Is it wrong of me to think this way?

...See more I've recently been diagnosed with anxiety and depression (merely because I finally got the guts to go to the doctor) and I confided in my parents and my boyfriend. They've been great support (maybe not my mother, too much, but she's a parent and I don't blame her for showing her worry in a somewhat unsupportive way). I confided in my parents, and my mother went and decided to share this news with my entire family. She shared that I'm suicidal, I have panic attacks and intense anxiety and that I'm on medication. All of a sudden, I have an aunt who's wanting to travel 6 hours to visit me (i live away from all my family and parents) and I can't help but feel annoyed. I know I should appreciate the concern, but I feel the only reason my aunt is visiting is in order for HER to feel better about herself that she's helping me. (Which in reality is just making me feel bad) Should I be feeling this way? Does anyone else get annoyed when people pretend to suddenly care?

...See more I've just felt on the edge lately. My anxiety has always been present when I began going to community college, and just a few months ago it began getting worse and worse to where I started getting panic attacks. I sometimes have no reason behind panicking, I just do it. And it's beginning to interfere with my school work so much that I want to drop out. I'm on my second year here and everyone seems to know what they're doing, I feel so behind but I do all I can do to continue. I just feel if I stay in school I'll go insane. My family looks up to me so much and are a major help to me financially, I just feel like I'll become a disappointment. I want to disappear.
