mirabilis_ones - Profile (original) (raw)

Anorexia Mirabilis or "holy anorexia" is a term coined during Medieval times to describe people with fasting behavior and food restriction akin to what is now called Anorexia Nervosa, a psychological disorder. It has been said by religious individuals that those with this condition have been blessed with a miracle.

This community is an experiment to bring people together and discuss fasting as a spiritual practice or using food refusal to express devotion to a religious cause. This is not necessarily for those who have been diagnosed with an eating disorder, although, if you have been diagnosed or feel that you are suffering as a result of this type of behavior, please feel welcome to join & to share your thoughts on the subject.

Rules:

1. be kind to one another!

2. if you have a long post or another community to promote, place it behind a cut.
