Learning about obesity in class is making me uncomfortable

I am a PhD student and the current topic in my seminar is obesity and metabolism. Everything is from the scientific perspective but I have noticed that people in class are avoiding eye contact with me. As the only overweight person in class it is very obvious that the other people in my seminar are uncomfortable talking about obese people with one in the room. I know this is my own fault, but I have no idea how to continue with these two hour sessions without having a breakdown in class. It honestly feels like everyone is being so careful not to look at me, and I just feel like crying. I am popping anti-anxiety pills before class, but I don't know how well I am handling this. Could I just get some words of encouragement please?
