I'm myopic (-2.50), is it healthier for my eyes if I wear my glasses all the time, or just every now and then?

With your type of vision you will need to wear them full time.If you feel you can see without them it wont make your vision any worse you just wont be able to see.

Wear them all the time. Not wearing them puts constant strain on your eyes. Which can weaken them and cause you to need a stronger prescription. If you don't want to wear them all the time then you can do eye exercises that will help strenghten you eyes and can reduce your dependency on your glasses SOME.

Myopic lenses are always for constant use.

Yes, certain people who don't wear lenses will have headaches after a long time of trying to focus on reading thins esp small words.

Generally its better to use them but some people find it easier to read a book without them. If you get more strain wearing them while you read then take them off.

Glasses are not unhealthy for your eyes. If there's proven environmental factors for increased myopia eye strain from reading has to be one of them. Its debatable whether the accomadation stress from glasses have any affect on making your vision worse. I find it lacking in evidence as a really significant contributer. Also experience indicates that it doesn't matter since my vision deterioated at an even rate even when I wasn't wearing glasses much at all.

I have about -2.25 myopia and I sometimes read with my glasses on or off depending on whether I can see comfortably. On a computer its much easier for me to wear my glasses, but it depends on the lighting when it comes to reading a book. Your eyes might feel a lot more comfortable wearing your glasses all the time. Sometimes its more relaxing at close distances to take them off. Its up to you what you want to do. Theres no right or wrong answer.
