Selena Gomez is back on social media after an absence of nearly four months. She was last on social media just before Christmas posting a picture of herself with some friends during a snow tubing trip to Big Bear Lake Ski Resort in Southern California.
She announced in September of last year that she was taking a break from social media and asked her fans to please not post negative comments. Selena began treatment in October for a condition known as lupus, an autoimmune disease that can trigger anxiety and depression. The immune cells attack the body's own healthy tissues, causing inflammation and tissue damage. Symptoms may be limited to the skin, but more often lupus also causes internal problems such as causing joint pain.
The 26-year old’s first posts for the new year were a series of black and white portraits with a caption that thanked her 144 million followers for their “love and support”.
