Nervosa has no real definition in the English language. In Latin, it means "nervous".
For contextual purposes, it means "the psychological addiction to a behavior, belief, or habit" that effects the body via the nervous system, or the mind.
It is also a word commonly used in reference to botany. Nervosa, when used in botany, describes a trunk or tree like pattern of veins within the leaves.

Get the Nervosa mug.A person suffering from Atypical Anorexia (AAN) must show body dissatisfaction, intentional restrictive behavior, and fear of gaining weight while maintaining a BMI of <18.5 and typically fall within the normal to the overweight range.
HAES-supportive nutritionists, wellness advisors, and other non-physicians from within the industry have bastardized the diagnosis of AAN while attempting to free their clients from “diet culture” and encouraging those to eat “what you want, whenever you want”. This trend harms the person by not acknowledging the self-destructive behaviour inherent in bingeing and using food for pleasure. Many consider this a misclassification of Eating Disorders, primarily Binge-Eating Disorder (BED), in an attempt to separate themselves from the stigma and shame related to gluttony and overindulgence. Unfortunately, this is at the expense of those who truly suffer from AAN since they are already underrepresented in medical literature and considered not severe enough for treatment.
Recently, Tess Holliday declared she was diagnosed with Anorexia at around 350lbs. In contrast to her claims, her social media features a plentitude of sweets, cakes, and takeout consumed on a weekly basis without shame. Such a false diagnosis of Atypical Anorexia is coined as Tessorexia Nervosa. Often individuals who are suffering from Tessorexia claim to be in recovery from Anorexia and any attempt to modify their diet would trigger a relapse causing them to waste away.

Get the Nervous Ball Tingle mug."Imagine the nerves" is a quote from the Twitch streamer and YouTuber Acai. It is his most famous quote, and was created when Acai had difficulty FC-ing Soulless 4. This also affiliated Machinations A, Breaker Solo and Stepping Solo A and B as Clone Hero memes; often changing a song gradually into these sections. These songs would trick Acai into playing them, and the joke repeats. As of now, the quote is dead as Acai recently FC'd Soulless 4.
Acai: And then, right after that orange wall, right after the section I just played; you have this to worry about.
*Plays Machinations A*
Acai: And then it comes again.
*He is still playing Machinations A*
Acai: So, Imagine The Nerves, Imagine The Nerves; FC-ing past that. Okay. Machinations A. This is one-this is the first part uhhhm. That is most unlikely in an FC past Fatalism. I really do not see anyone ever FC-ing past Machinations A. Oh, but what if, what if somebody does? We can theorize that all we want. This little solo called Stepping Solo. Now, check this out.
*Plays Stepping Solo A and B to Breaker Solo*
Acai: Check out that transition. Look at this. Review! Review! We talked about Machinations A. Imagine FC-ing past that, and then having to wait getting to here.
*Plays Stepping Solo B*
Acai: ...Past Machinations.
*Plays Breaker Solo*
Acai: ...And having to deal with that too, y' know? Stepping Solo B, y' know, to Breaker Solo. That's uhhh not very possible to FC- up to, even. No-one will FC up to Stepping Solo B. The day they do, I'll give 'em- I'll give them 100 bucks. Straight up.
