I can understand why you would do that, but, yes, you can expect some folks to not know how to deal with you now, likely through ignorance and just plain feeling uncomfortable. Maybe you will get some support from a few of them face to face. I am glad you have a friend who understands. One advantage here is that most all of us have a MI!

Also, do you have your FB set up so only your friends can see it? Otherwise, ANYBODY with FB connections could find out about it.
