The panic room! Describe your symptoms!
I want to do this as a topic for the group, so that by reading other's experiences, they may themselves calm down, and be released from anxiety's grasp. I am actually having a decent anxiety attack right now. I have a sharp pain in my heart, difficulty breathing, I feel a numbness in my upper left arm, pins and needles in…

Let's start with introductions!!!
I am Brandon, founder of the group. I have been diagnosed with Panic Disorder, Chronic Depression, and PTSD "Post Traumatic Stress Disorder." I haven't been to a psychologist or psychiatrist in nearly 5 years, meaning I have suffered just as long without medication. My anxiety started as a young teen, with Insomnia that…

I've come to realize something...
I may be crazy, but it seems most of our members here in ASG are female. Anyone anywhere read anything interesting that may close the gap on this? Is this a normal statistic? Or is it just coincidence?

Introduce Yourself!
Let everyone know your name, your favorite songs, your skill level, preferred pad, and even beyond DDR! What are your goals? What do you love most about DDR to achieve your goals!?!?
-
Opinions on the new pad!?!?
The design I am using is actually my DDR pad design that I am having put on a pad personally that is custom made. A lot of people say these pads are better than the best pads out there, or an alternative since many are not made anymore :-/ The guy who makes them does do it out of his home, and is a DDR enthusiast!…

I need DDR friends!!!
I love DDR, and play very often. I am about to order a new dance pad. I checked the group, and it had a whole 28 members since 2011 or so, and not many posts are happening there. About to order a new Omeag ITGX pad with custom graphics. Anyone out there that is a fan, add me. I plan on making a new group if the damn thing…

Night owl friends!?
I find myself up late, so I was hoping to have more friends that are night owls or just from parts of the world where they are on around this time. I accept all friends, really. Thanks!

I need some new friends...
I have little to no communication with anybody anymore on MFP, so I am in need of some good and motivated friends. I like to communicate with others during my journey for weight loss, and share ideas. Most important, give credit where credit is due, praise and encourage. I am a U.S.Army veteran, a married man with 2 Kids…

A small measure of peace. "Anxiety control my way."
So, anyone who's been with the group know who I am by now, and I figured I would share a few things that I have done in my life to help nullify my anxiety to an almost no-existent state... 1. Quit smoking! - I used to think it was caffeine that caused my panic attacks. Granted caffeine can cause people with no history of…

Anyone have any topics they need covered?
So, we have 2 open topics, which is a good start, but I want to ask you, the public, what topics you would like to see that is going to help YOU out. I have even thought about opening a topic, just to let people vent out, and help them feel better through that, but I am pretty sure that every topic we cover will be going…

Dealing with PTSD, and over coming it.
My PTSD comes from syringe needles. I had an older kid tie me to a chair, leave me in a room, and poke me with his father's diabetic needles. I finally escaped when his father came home and he had to untie me. I didn't realize it until I got older, and started having nightmares and remembering it. I have always been…

Depression - Noone should suffer it alone...
I am nlt going to say much starting out, but I want people to know that there is support here… Nobody can help you if nobody knows. Tell everyone what makes you depressed, and we can all pull together to ease it's encumberance. Suffering all alone is so much worse than suffering as a group.

Thanatophobia... Because inevitability can be the cause...
For those whom don't know what Thanatophobia is, it is the fear of death itself. I found out I have a case of Thanatophobia, and it does make life difficult at times. It can consume you in your waking hours, or when you are trying to drift to sleep. Rather than explaining it myself, I am going to copy and paste an article.…

Role-Playing for relief...
You don't have to be an artistic genius to role play... You don't have to have a disorder either... You don't even have to be an actor... Much like Peter Pan's subordinates, you just have to believe... When you are by yourself, who the hell cares what you do, think, or say out loud? We all need an escape from reality, and…

Dance Dance Revolution your *kitten* off!
Hi! I am doing a new post to see if I can't find any other friends using DDR as their Cardio workout. I am a stay at home dad of 2, and I don't much trust people in my neighborhood so I spend most of my time indoors. My first week, I burnt approximately 5,212 Calories on DDR, and I have to say it was the best $20 I have…

How do you deal with Anxiety?
One thing I found that is an awesome home remedy is lavender epsom salt. I take a bath in it before bedtime, and use lavender lotion as well. Lavender believe it or not is basically an organic anti-depressant. It relaxes you, and puts you in sleep mode. For those whom suffer panic disorder like myself, it gets hard to…

I need friends! Please add me.
Hi. I am looking for friends to help keep me on track for the sake of my health, and in return, I can do the same for. After the army, I lost my way and before I knew it, I was married with 2 kids and over 220 pounds. I am only 5' 6" so definitely a big deal. Please add me if you also need a friend and a motivator. I love…
