Hi Maynard,
Sorry you're going through this, it sounds really awful. The one thing that strikes me is that you're not your diagnosis, and if telling ppl your diagnosis hurts friendships, then maybe not sharing that would help. I know we don't want to be friends with ppl who can't accept us the way we are, but ppl are afraid of what they don't understand, and most ppl don't understand mental illness, they can't accept that it affects a friend or that it might one day affect them.
You're a good person with some problems that you can't help - like most of us here. I hope you start feeling better and the depressions lifts.
