Which BSC member are you (health wise)

[bookwormv1]

Okay, so this is which BSC member are you (health wise)? I'll post a profile for how each of the sitters' health fared during the series and you can pick which one you are or if you're more like one of the charges you can pick one of them and descirbe yourself

Are you a:
-Kristy, never sick and if you ever became sick you would get on with things and not tell anyone?
-Mary Anne, usually good physically but sometimes struggle with mental or emotional problems?
-Claudia, always healthy but ver occasionally injured in a feak accident? (broken leg)
-Stacey, struggling with a chronic condition with no cure, but treatment options, which can fail at times? (diabetes)
-Dawn, commited to keeping a healthy lifestyle and completely healthy because of it?
-Mallory, not with one specific illness, but ever so often getting almost debilitating sickness' which are reasonably long term? (mono, chicken pox for the second time)
-Jessi, rarely sick becauseyou take good care of yourself, ND ny injuries you get are a result of someone else sabotaging you? (sprained ankle)
-Abby, tied down with illnesses that can be incredibly difficult to cope with but have treatments and are likely for you to grow out of or lose eventually? (asthma, allergies)

If any of my information is wrong please tell me, and feel free to add desciptions for people if left out

Probably a combination of Kristy and Stacey. I am extremely blessed to be in overall good health. My constant/chronic issue is my TMD. Thankfully, for the most part, I have been able to manage it. Like, Stacey, I know all too well, (in a different way obviously to diabetes) how home/daily care can translate into frustration and sometimes narrowing down long-term options.

I'm more like Mary Anne, I'm way too sensitive and painfully shy. But I'm getting over my shyness, anti-social problem ever since I've been seeing my Psychiatric.

[greer]

Mary Anne, definitely. When I was younger, I had a lot of problems with depression.

[shannon86]

I am also a Claudia, I wasn't the best student, but I did my best on most subjects and had average grades.

[peppermintraymaker]

Mostly Mary Anne...I have depression and anxiety but they are pretty well managed. I also have chronic vertigo which I have medication for to take as needed...the dizzy spells come and go, sometimes close together and sometimes very very far apart, so not sure if I'd be a Stacey or Abby there.

[psychoseal]

Probably Mallory although as I have got older I have got healthier. I used to struggle quite a lot - germs seemed to like me

[oldhickory]

i guess i would have to pick abby because i have allergies, or mallory because i'm constantly coming down with things.

[candykane]

Probably Mallory. I don't get sick a lot but when I do it seems to hit me incredibly hard and takes ages to go away.

[lee1982]

I'm a combination of Kristy and Dawn. When I do get sick I keep it under control and keep on doing my daily activities (unless I have a high fever then like Kristy I'm forced to stay in bed lol) and Dawn because I'm all but a Vegetarian and eat pretty much healthy foods most of the time.

Toss between Stacey and Mallory. I have a chronic condition, but it's not life threatening (Hypothyroidism.) It's not going to go away.
Also because of illnesses I had when I was a child (so bad I was on chemotherapy, although technically it wasn't cancer), my immune system kind of sucks majorly.

[shannon86]

Well, time to think of of it I'm a mix of all of them, I'm not sporty but I can do well in most sports and physical activities, but unlike Stacey I don't have any health issues.

Healthwise, I'm a Stacey. I have bipolar disorder, and most people would probably think that would make me more like Mary Anne in terms of health, since it's a mental illness. Mary Anne, though, feels better after talking to a therapist, and I gave up on talking therapy years ago because it has never helped me. I take medication, use bright light therapy, exercise, practice mindfulness, and try to remember to do things like eat and sleep more or less properly.

I'm not saying people shouldn't go to therapists, by the way. It's just that I've had so many REALLY bad therapists who made me feel considerably worse, so when I'm stable on medication that works for me, I'm not going to go hunting for a therapist and risk winding up with another bad one who scars me emotionally. I do find it helpful to talk to other people with mood disorders, and sometimes it even helps to talk to my friends who are relatively more "normal," because it does make me feel better to talk to people who actually listen to me and who sometimes understand what I am going through.

The last time I was hospitalized was in 2006 and I've been pretty stable since then. Of course I have some episodes anyway, but I manage to keep them pretty well under control.

I'm more of a Claudia-type where I seem to be able to eat tons of junk food and not break out or get fat. And like Kristy, I probably would have visions of hamburgers floating in my head if I was at a meal and all there was to eat were healthy stuff.

[sillybillygoogoo]

I think I'm a combination of Stacey and Mary Anne.
