While in a psychology class recently, I learned an important fact that changed the way I look at many of these "grey area" mental illnesses that are sometimes difficult to distinguish true mental illness from other things: A person is only diagnosed with a "Disorder" when it negatively affects...
I find that fasting is a combination of things to me personally.
First ant foremost, it is an expression of my devotion to God. This is a very personal thing which many I have met find hard to understand. The simple act of depriving myself of food and drink from sunrise to sunset is my way...

Hello, I am Yoco.
Ok, so that is not my real name, but it will do for online discussion. Besides, if I gave you my real name you would not be able to find me anywhere else on the internet, as I am Yoco just about everywhere else I have ever been.
