Tell your family and friends that you have to live with yourself and they do not.
Find a local support group (I did this). Find a counselor (I did this). If they can't support you, then don't discuss. And Alex, six months is a very short time.
On the flip side, I kept family and friends out of my situation to a great degree. I actually stayed away from mutual friends when I was angry so I didn't pull them in.
