We made it on a beach and my brother helped me with all the planning and organization, and music and stuff... I decided to make the party to say goodbye to all my new friends in the basketball team because I have to leave to the army for two years and I won’t be able to play with them as a team anymore because we only have an U-19 girls team in the town (and it’s not even professional...). I also wanted to thank all of them for helping me to overcome some of my social issues. Anyways, the party was really great and heart touching. I told the girls the most my story, the bullying, the physical abuse, my pretty stupid psychological traumas, the suicide attempt, ignoring and neglecting my real problems, being on antidepressants... I told them that the main reason I joined the team at the first place was trying to find a way to overcome my shyness and sociophobia, and how grateful I am for playing with them and them helping me in improving my social skills and social life. In the end of the party I gave them personal letters and my contact info. Today when I signed in I was surprised, I had two messages. One of them even told me that she couldn’t believe that I was going through all of that, I never showed that many signs. We talked about three hours... she seems so nice and really want to help...:) I’m so glad I made that party. It’s such an easier and better way of saying goodbye to all those girls, I will miss them! Just wanted to share...
