Is it normal that i have a fear of being in public?

I graduated high school last June and was okay up until August. My family was disappointed with me for not going to college or getting a job. I had planned to but people were throwing their high expectations at me and I was getting tired of it. I stay home everyday since then. Now I have paranoia, anxiety, and severe depression (though we don't have enough money to get medicine for it.)My mother thinks I have had depression for many years now though. The last time I was truly happy and not just okay was a few years ago. I currently still self-harm and daydream about dying. And the last few times we have been out in public I have had panic attacks. I feel too ugly and pitiful to be in public. And like I am in everyone else's way and a burden to them (it took a lot of courage to put this post up). Also, as a side note I have an obsession with diet and exercise and I no longer talk to my friends. I cannot walk outside my front door in the daylight even when I live in the countryside. I only exercise around 9 pm at night. And typically for many hours because I have a habit of daydreaming. I am trying to get myself out of having to go to thanksgiving because I can't stand my family. I get sick easily and I tend to sleep for many hours a day. I am sorry if I sound like I am asking for attention or pity. Please help me and thank you very much! I appreciate any help you can give me!

    Look, first thing you have to have some kind of communication to go through this. Staying alone or sleeping doesn't do away with that fear. If you need any help PM me killing yourself doesn't do any good, I can help you out
