From a panic attack to a soft friend

Anxiety Fox started during a panic attack and doodling a little white fox on paper in order to help me cope. I nervously shared these doodles online, expecting people to think I was oversharing. But people resonated with this soft character. From then on, I wanted to continue to share this little fox with the world to remind others that they are not alone in their emotions.

I use doodles to find light hearted ways to accept myself and I hope you find them comforting too!

Hi, I’m Nao!

Imagining my mental disorders as innocent little animals helped me cope. I wanted to learn to accept them and imagine them as little critters I needed to befriend!
