So, I went to the Ultimate game yesterday and was absolutely blown away. I was super nervous starting out, but the guys were so sweet and so accepting and I had tons of fun. They said I did amazing for my first time and was the best of any of the girls who had ever come (no girl has ever come twice, but I aim to change that!) and even did better than a lot of the guys.
I'm super excited that it was actually fun and my anxiety didn't get in the way. I feel like this may be a social group I can exercise my combating of my fear of people with and a good way to get out and get moving twice a week. My therapist has officially diagnosed me with severe depression, but I just felt that melt away during the game.
Don't get me wrong, it was tons of hard work. Lots of sprinting, and definitely an amazing workout. But the goal is having fun and spending time with people, not burning calories, so I think that's also good for me.
Oh yeah, and I impressed my boyfriend, so that's also a plus. Yeah bud, I can handle this on my own.
I had a little trouble, being the only girl, getting the guys to pass it to me, but once they saw I could throw and catch, they sent it my way a little more. I even scored a goal!
I'd call this a victory for the day.
