Well, if you're not living in Malaysia you may not know that we have been under the movement control order for 23 days (omg 😂) now. And yes, it took me 23 days of living alone with minimal human contact to finally come and fill up this page hehe. And if you're a long time [...]

dumped
I haven't written anything for the past 2 weeks. Zero writing. Nothing. As much as I'm excited about the new year, I think I needed some time to comprehend that it's 2018. It scares me a little to be honest. I am not where I imagined myself to be at this age -- not that [...]
let’s chat #1
I feel like I share quite a lot of things about me on the blog so today it’s time to turn the table. No matter if you’ve been reading nadirahim.com for a while or just stumbled across my blog right now, I would love to get to know you a bit better. 😊 . [...]
headspace | things that anxiety taught me

. I'm on my way to recovery, I can genuinely feel it. It's a good thing, though I'm not completely passed my anxiety/depressive phase. There's a steady progression and that's enough. 😊 Along the way to recovery, I pick up some valuable life lessons that I may not have learnt that quickly if it's not for [...]
headspace | bad day
I had a reallyyy bad day today. . One of those days where you just have no one to go to except Allah S.W.T. One of those days where the only words that come out of me are, "O Allah, help me." . I must say, I'm handling it better though. If I were still [...]

she’s graduating
For the better part of the last three weeks I was struggling severely with my anxiety and depression. For those of you who know it well, it was the typical carousal of symptoms; flat affect, fatigue, socially withdrawn, hopeless, irritates, and just empty -- so empty. I woke up everyday hoping the fog had lifted. [...]
girl boss | own your mistakes

. So, it's hard to talk about failure, isn't it? It's probably one of the most uncomfortable topic one could bring up. No one likes to admit to them. And yet, it's the one most relatable topic. Everyone reading this entry has failed at something at some point. And that's okay. 😊 There's the little thing [...]
headspace | emdr: patient’s perspective [part four]
Heyyy.. 😊 If you haven't read the previous post, you can click on the link to read [part three]. I realise that I must summarise my sessions, or else this EMDR tag would take too long and it's going to get boring for you guys. Bear with me, okay? I'm trying my best to make [...]
promise ring
Traditionally, promise rings are given from one partner to another to promise a future, to promise commitment, to promise that they have plans to one day propose. While I think this sentiment is very sweet (who doesn't want shiny sparkly things?!), I recently felt inspired to buy one for myself instead. And, noo.. I'm [...]
