So I’m finally back to doing what I love- working full-time at a chill gas station, living a simple life and of course, making cartoons. 🥰 So I just posted first real OC in YEARS HOLY SHIT, it really has been a hot minute here. So what’s happening is, among other projects in the future like my AoSTH-Sonic X reboot and personal Pokémon comic as a homage to my friends in the community, I am also writing a Kirby anime reboot, in comic and occasional animatic/animation form. I just haven’t had the time since being diagnosed with bipolar disorder this January among other things over the years (PTSD and Borderline Personality Disorder specifically)… I’ve really been trying to get my shit together irl - don’t worry, I’ve been taking my meds RELIGIOUSLY and I’m seeing a therapist. For the longest time I fought to get these diagnoses actually - since the age of thirteen but every time I raised questions I’d always be shut down, gaslit even by shitty school authority figures being told I was “too young” or it was all a part of my diagnosed autism and I was just in deep-rooted denial. So I was stuck in the mental health system - going in circles constantly and did so for almost ten years. And for the longest time I really gave up, assuming all of this was just a part of my personality, character flaws that would stick around for the rest of my life. But lo-and-behold, after some severe, long, treatment-resistant (like not even Zyprexa/Olanzapine did enough and it’s SUPER strong) episodes for the past three years and after multiple, MONTHS-LONG hospitalizations and dropping out of college TWICE - I finally got my diagnoses and fighting for this cause was the best decision I ever made. I finally got the reassurance that my brain is just really wired differently from neurotypicals - and, I’ve learned so much about myself, the potential I did have all along. ❤️ I’ll repost this in a status - no, this isn’t an attention-seeking attempt nor is this to get sympathy, I’ve found that confidence in myself. So don’t worry about me too much :) This is a PSA for EVERYONE and I can’t stress this enough for everyone I tell, ALWAYS 👏 TAKE 👏 YOUR 👏 MEDS. 👏 For your own well-being, and don’t be afraid to go to therapy even if it’s temporary and you just need pointers to go in the right direction. And if you’re overwhelmed by overworking yourself and you’re starting to feel stressed… mental health ALWAYS comes first, take breaks when you can and take all the time you need to recover. Please. It’s hard and takes years of self-discipline and compassion for yourself - some of your fans/followers WILL bitch about it - but the true fans that have ridden with you from day one, will completely understand. I promise. ❤️ Thank you ALL for being so supportive and understanding, and just being patient. There’s a lot I need to work on outside of my projects and I publicly apologize for it. Truly. You guys enjoy the rest of your day/evening, catch y’all on the flipside. Keep thriving. 🥰💖 ~ Serena Foxx

After a really messy breakup and getting the mental help I need… I feel ready to go back to drawing y’all. It’s going to be tough but thank you all for supporting me all these years - now it’s my turn to support you guys. Anyways I’m taking a break for a bit for my mental health since a lot has happened this week - you guys all take care okay? Peace and love 😘❤️ - ~Serena Foxx~
