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.


(July/2024)

English: "Beating Ana" by Shannon Cutts(re-reading, "Hunger For Understanding"(re-reading) by Alison Eivors & Sophie Nesbitt, "Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius(Translated from Latin), "When the Christians First Met the Muslims" by Michael Philip Pen.

French: "La Civilisation des Arabes"("The Civilisation of the Arabs") by Gustav Le Bon, "Les Hirondelles de Kaboul"("The Swallows of Kabul") by Yasmina Khadra.


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.


To-be read list: "The Daily Stoic", "Stoic Foundations", "The Shock Doctrine", "The Apocrypha: Including the Books From the Ethiopic Bible", "The Wiley Blackwell Companion to Zoroastrianism", "L'Iran Sous Les Sassanides", "Dieu, La Science, Les Preuves", "Italiani, Brava Gente?" "مَدخل إلى التاريخ الإسلامي، د.عِماد الدّين خَليل"


*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..(':

A Daily Challenge (Facing "Fear Foods")
Eating Disorder Support / by Katharsis22

15 hours ago
...See more Hello Community. I present to you a challenge you can do for the next fortnight. Basically, here, I have a container that bears multiple pieces of paper, with each paper having a food item written on it. I'll post one food item that will be selected randomly everyday. ●What are "fear foods", you may ask? It is a term used to describe certain nutrients that one is afraid to eat. The reason for the fear and avoidance of a certain food can vary from one person to another(Like anxiety, Irrational fear of weight gain, etc). ●Who can take this challenge? Almost everyone. Specifically, anyone who has a restrictive eating disorder / has a bad relationship with food. But it's preferable for persons who are still in the beginning of recovery or/and they are severely underweight to not join this. That's because they might risk having some health problems without any prior consultation of a dietitian. •Suggestion: make a list of all of the food items you tend to avoid. It can help you navigate the fear you may have surrounding them, and getting rid of any Irrational fears that is disrupting your day-to-day life. By November, the challenge can be restarted and include the kinds of food you struggle to have. For now, it'll be random, chosen from my container. So you'll need to push through. This challenge will span from the 24th/Oct to the 6/Nov. So, we'll start tomorrow.

...See more Hello there. What is this? Just like the title indicates: it's a random thread. Well, I might use this to post some writings of mine... or my random gibberish. Guess it will be more fitting to add this to the Journal / Diary forum, or maybe not. I do journal(?) already, just not publicly, not entirely at least, of-course- Anyway, any of you cybernetic passers-bys are welcome to read or/and share your thoughts. Not like I can prevent you anyway, this is accessible to the public. Haha. But yes, if you're looking for some space to share some things and you don't have a thread or don't want to create one of your own for any reason, you can post here. ☆Enjoy the incoming stochastic chaos of textual expression.(:

...See more Hello everyone. Just a quick accolade to the people who got up in the morning instead of staying asleep, started their day, and been getting some work done today(the days after this publication counts too) whilst having no motivation whatsoever. This might sound weird because it's common-sense, but really, not that many seem to do that often in this day and age. Which makes it easier in a way to take a step ahead of the majority. This isn't meant to discourage anyone who couldn't manage to do so. You may also consider it as a slight 'push' forward for those who are behind to catch up. ((: Take care.
