Rhiannon.

Hi, my name is Rhiannon, I'm 24 (nearly 25) and from Wales. I have a pug called Cai, a ragdoll kitten named Cicero and two fish tanks with platie, kuhli loaches, amano shrimp and vampire shrimp. I love painting and making clay models and hope to start a buisness doing that.
I also have mild depression and moderate OCD which I developed when I was 16.
Well, previously moderate. I am overjoyed to say that my OCD has improved immensly in the last few months and just a few days ago I said a 'forbidden word' for the first time in seven years. The downside is that I have now started to get panic attacks. I had my first one at the begining of November and it lasted an hour and a half. I had no idea what was going on. The next one I had last Monday. I visited my doctor yesterday (for an unrelated reason) and told her about it and she believed they were panic attacks, something I had suspected myself. I'm having a ton of blood tests done just to rule out other causes but I feel they are panic attacks. Been having a feeling of dread, but no obvious cause, quite often during the day, but its never amounted to a full panic attack, aside from those two incidences.
It really sucks and I actually find myself wishing I could go back to just my OCD :(
But anyway, that is me :D
