Well I met my first witness (and it would have to be an elder who I always got on well with) last night after my disassociation 3 weeks ago and I was not prepared for how hard it felt. I had the most human reaction of recognising someone I knew and had to stop myself saying hi. He just rushed past me. I had the horrible feeling that I was some sort of lowlife. I felt so horrible and angry and guilty afterwards, it annoyed me that he was so self righteous. Even though I knew this would happen I was so not prepared for my own reaction. I suppose I thought that they wouldn't really NOT talk to me. Anyone else had similar experiences?

Thank you all for your kind words. I disassociated myself last night. I felt I had to do so as I gave into temptation with my fiance and just felt too guilty. I think its a bit easier for me as my mother disassociated herself 5 years ago and my brother and best friend are both disfellowshipped, so I don't have to worry about losing family. I sent a letter to both of my best friends who sent me understanding messages. It was so hard though, I sat for an hour outside one of my frineds houses trying to decide whether or not to post the letter, eventually I did.

Can anyone out there ease my mind? I am about to disassociate myself and feel so scared. What if I'm making the wrong decision? Will it be worse for me at armageddon? What do I do when I am "out"? I feel so alone. I will miss my only two good friends in the cong. Will Satan have fair prey on me now? Its a very hard thing to do.
