I'm very embarrassed of my condition, too. When I stopped working 2 years ago, even my pdoc expressed surprise. At the time I was unable to complete an 8 hour work day without crying and having several panic attacks. (I'm in the process of finding a new doctor with a human, and humane, component built in.)
When people ask me now whether I work, I say "not at the moment," and leave it at that. Most people don't bother to ask any further questions. I don't even mention depression and anxiety as the reason.
