I would say tell people who you think will definitely be supportive. I'm in the same situation as you...only a few close friends know. I already regret telling some people, because I don't think they'll ever understand. I would like to tell my family because I don't like keeping things from them, and I know they care, but I think it would complicate my recovery at this point. My T said that I need to be aware of whether or not it is the right time to tell people.

I too think that my family would end up criticizing me and not understand. I don't think at this point in time they can deal with it.
