i've related what's going on with me to three friends. one of them is a grad student, studying psychology and going through major depression, himself - he understands fully; but he lives about a thousand miles away from me. the second is a nurse - he doesn't believe in depression; but other than that he hasn't backed off from me or alienated me. the third, my girlfriend, is also a nurse - she's quite supportive and does her best to be understanding.
what's so ironic about this is that my parents, whom i've also told about being diagnosed with major depression, have no understanding of what's going on. i get no support from them in this, in fact i get quite the opposite.
so i guess we all react differently, and so do the people in our lives. i read your follow-up posting and i'm glad that you're reaching a level of understanding with your friend...friends are valuable.
