Advice or something idk!

Hi all, I've had agoraphobia for about a year and honestly it feels like it's getting worse and worse. I'm on meds and have tried some exposure therapy and CBT but it all feels like too much. I'm trying to go at my own pace but sometimes I feel like I owe it to people around me to just hurry up and get better but you know when you feel like it's going to get worse for a while before you get better, I feel that right now and I keep trying to say to my partner that I don't think I can get more confident and push my limits for a while but he says don't look at it that way and I'll get there soon but I feel guilty like if I don't get better soon I'll disappoint everyone. I just truly am okay with how things are right now and I just feel like I expose myself to enough uncomfortable situations in public and outside my "safe" spaces.

Is it just me that gets this kind of guilt?
