Hmm, I'm not sire what my medical status is, actually. I feel fine, physically. Iknow that I have better eating habits than most people I know. Call me finicky, but I avoid junk food like the plague and I won't even touch a soda. Tea, water ad juices are about all I drink. Granted, this isn't because Im a health nut. I just don't like greasy, processed food or sugary drinks. I actually don't like sweets in general.

I probably exercise more than the average person. I don't have a car, so I wind up taking buses and walking everywhere, and my job has me running around the store all night. My sleep habits suck, but that isn't anything new and tbh I get along just fine with a handful of hours of sleep.
Meditation is... well, a bit too hippy for me. I find the idea of it silly and it's just not something that I could ever take seriously. It's a lot of the reason why I find DBT to be a big joke.
