All of you are very nice! I think I made the first step when I went in the city to shop. It's an area where there is a big crowd of people so I begin to get in rhythm with the social life. The next step I think is our trip to the mountains with the family for tomorrow. I think it would make at least a bit difference in the everyday life. Then on monday I'll be meeting early in the morning a girl, actually a class mate, who we work together in the school interests club. We are going to discuss our new campaigns for the school year, including an anti- AIDS one. This sort of activity would certainly bring me back the feeling of the personal statisfaction. Later I'll be meeting a big group of friends becuase we haven't met for a long time.

So, I'm definitely happy I began to feel a difference. I can actually confirm that sharing my story with someone (e.g. you all) helped a lot, at least gave a good boost for something new. I'm still thinking about personal advice from a specialist, I also talked to my mum and she said: 'If you have to, then you will...'

I can't say the feeling is totally gone but I think I now have the strength to change thanks to you.

P.S. I finally sat down to learn Italian seriously and that makes me happy too, I am statisfied.
