Second... uh, what are these things called 'bios' are supposed to be again?

So, I am known here as Katharsis or simply, Kath.(Also 'Silver', if there are other Kaths) You might see present in the chatrooms. Been here since 2018 or 2017... and still here, I guess. Is there more to it?

Well, I am a student. I ironically used to teach whilst being a student at the same time. I've taken an interest in psychology before and researched it often in the past. But I am still educating myself about it. It is a growing field of science, and there's always new discoveries of the psyche as time goes on. (:

I can be considered as what some people call a voracious reader. I exercise often. I draw and sketch, but not as often as I used to. Kept up the habit of journaling at least once a week for years(5-7 y.?) now and... that's it, I guess. This seems to be getting monotonous. Haha.

▪︎Fun Fact: I didn't drink coffee for about three years now. And I rarely have tea, too.

I'll take off before both the coffee and tea fans gang up on me.

Random Questions and Answers:

Q1-"How did you find 7 Cups?"

I don't really remember well, but I think it was when I first heard the terms of 'Mental-Health', 'Psychology' and such that then when I had internet available later on, I researched about those and found this community. I think it was even amongst the very first sites I've encountered when I had access to the Internet.

Q2-"What issue(s) you have that has brought you here? What are your diagnoses?

I do not know. (': I figure I had some things in mind when I first came here. I didn't receive any official diagnosis, so I don't have any diagnoses.

-"Well, what are you currently dealing with?"

Mainly, I think, sleep related problems. Potential traumas, psychotic symptoms and orthorexic-bulimic symptoms too. (just issues with eating, I am not sure about which term to give it).

Q3-"Where are you from?"

Why, from Earth, of course.(: Worry not about being invaded soon by some intergalactic species or anything of that sort.

Q4-"How many languages do you speak?"

Mainly just two.(In terms of the four language skills of fluency: speaking, listening, reading, and writing). Still open for new languages and to improve current ones that I have a certain understanding of.(:

Q5-"You kinda sound old?"

Really? Plot twist: I am twenty years old, as far as I know, at least. I wouldn't say that's very young though, but many people seem to consider it to be a fairly young age.

Q6-"Any hobbies?

Surviving?

Just joking.

What I have in mind is writing, reading, drawing, making collections, and sewing.

Q7-"What are you reading?"

I am currently reading a variety of books and going over some references. Mainly non-fiction.

German: "Das Kapital"("The Capital") - Karl Marx

Arabic: "الحَي بن يَقظان"("Al-Hay eben Yaqdhan")* by Ebn Toufayl. "وَحي الكتابُ المُقدَّس"("Revelation of the Bible") by Joseph Riyadh. "الوُجود التاريخي للأَنبِياء وجَدَل الأركيولوجي"("The Historical Existence of the Prophets and the Archaeological Argument") by Sami 'Ameri.

*That's a name.

Q8-"Any favourite genres?"

I read almost all genres except romance.

Q9-"Religion/Faith?"

For now, I am still exploring. I guess I may just hope for some answers.

I generally agree that there's something that seems to make everyone susceptible or/and inclined to have a belief or more throughout history, and just shrugging that off is arbitrary.

Q10-"No coffee nor tea?? How blasphemous!"

I generally try to avoid caffeine.(':

Here are some things that will likely cause an existential crisis so you can think of, because why not..? Brace yourselves...>

1-Did you know that your body has approximately 36-28 trillions cells, and one million cells die every second?

2-If there's so many different ideologies and philosophies for the purpose of humans, which one is true? Or is there some truth in some of them or each one of them?

3-What would you call "Meaningful"?

4-If a human is a byproduct of evolution and is therefore bound by nature and material, how come humans can have thoughts(which are metaphysical)? Can those neurological responses be trusted?

5-There's this strange internal guidance for proper morals within every being. Is there not? What can be defined as "Morally Right"?

I'll stop here..(':
