Sibah Nadeem is a 20 years old almost-graduate studying Digital Media and Communications. Originally from India, she lives in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. She is passionate about everything creative and design-related. Her hobbies include watching shows, writing poetry, making crafts, and going all in to anything that piques her interest, which is derived from her ADHD. Instagram: @sibahnadeem Sibah deals with Fibromyalgia everyday. Fibromyalgia, is a chronic condition causing widespread pain and fatigue, amongst various other symptoms which often goes undetected in tests, since it isnt physiologically explainable and is caused by an overactive nervous system due to many factors. The diagnosis took Sibah two years of struggles, navigating various clinics and hospitals till she found doctors who validated how she felt and provided the right course of treatment. Managing daily life can get overwhelming, especially at a young age, but she is lucky enough to have a support system of friends and family who make it so much more better. She shares this to encourage women facing similar struggles – you are not alone. You are enough. With the right support, a fulfilling life is possible. Don’t be afraid of getting help, create a supportive environment around you, even if it is challenging, and take things one step at a time. You are not limited by your conditions, so don’t give up, keep going. Try not to take life too seriously despite and despite. Remember to focus on things you’re passionate about, be kind to yourself, and most importantly, have lots of fun along the way.
