Go with your gut feeling. If a friend asked you this question, how would you advise them.

Sometimes, no matter how helpful they think they are being, family and friends may say stupid or hurtful things on FB.

For that reason, I think very personal issues are best not put on FB. You are already struggling with various issues and if people say anything annoying or upsetting, it would just add to your stress. Tell the people you know, love and trust in a more private way, like an email.

Also remember, anyone can copy info off your FB page and send or post it anywhere else.

Please also remember that employers, past and present, universities applied to, financial inst checking on you, the law, may at some point ask to see or access your FB page.

As far as what to say to folks asking about your health status on FB, maybe just say you have received an initial diagnosis and you want to deal with it in your own way and you don't
feel comfortable right now disclosing or discussing it on FB but thanks for concern.
