Well, there isn't really a rule about what you should and shouldn't share with your friends (or burden them with). It depends a lot on how they'll take it. Since that's something you can't know without at least testing the waters, I'd suggest trying out one (small) revelation with one (selected) friend, seeing how they react, and following up (or not) accordingly.

It might be difficult to gauge their reaction accurately if they didn't say anything in response. In that case I might follow up with a question, though at the moment I'm not sure exactly how I'd want to phrase it. Possibly -- but don't hold me to this -- "Was that too much information for you?"

I figure it's all progress, though some of it will take you through spaces you may not like so well.
