Hi y'all! Fantastic post!
I LOVE meeting new people. But if I don't get my alone time...watch out! Sometimes I'm guilty of not returning people's calls just so I can read a book or whatever  But...if I'm at home too much I miss everyone LOL I guess I'm a combo?
I taught kindergarten. I didn't have a half a second to relax with those kids! Drawing on the floor, fights, I want THIS toy, LOL It was a BLAST...but a lot of work!
To de-stress I would go home and take a nap! LOL I wish I had some better ideas....maybe someone else will!
Love,
Ruchie

Hi Dee!
You mention that you find being up and moving helps your IBS. Would you elaborate on that? Are you IBS C or D? Are you following the diet? Just curious if you think it's a combo of the diet and exercise that helps, or mostly the exercise? Whatever it is--it's great that you're so positive and that you have your life back!
*hugs*

Hey, sorry to butt in but I just wanted to say that exercise helped my IBS soooo much! When I had lots of time in the summer I started exercising really intsively (weight training + cardio) and my IBS has NEVER been better (I'm IBS-D). Unfortunately now that I'm back at school my schedule doesn't allow for that much exercise, but now I know what can help! 
Also, this is a great thread... I'mm definitely an introvert [INTP]. While I do like being with people, meeting new people etc. I would freak out if I didn't have alone time every day! I wonder what the connection is between IBS and introverts? (Or maybe its a cause thing - IBS makes you introverted? Who knows!)
Cheers, Laurel.

Yeah, I just got the hypnosis tape and am at day 27. The first one was great. It truly is relaxing. The second one stressed me. I think it is because I am having a hard time seeing any link between what he is saying and what is happening in my body. After 27 days, I am really not any better. But, on to tape 3. It's not over yet!

Hi Laurel,
What is INTP? Is that a specific kind of introvert?
Good to know about the exercise. I have fibro...I used to run and dance and I was pretty fit. Nowadays I'm getting more than a block in and I'm thrilled (walking). But htis is truly inspiring me to keep working at it! I believe I will run again one day (the pain specialist said she doesn't tell most patients this...but she thinks I will too one day!)  So thanks for the encouragement!
*hugs*

May I chime in and answer this? "INTP" comes from the Meyers-Briggs &/or Kiersey Personality Sorters, which are in turn influenced by Carl Jung's work regarding personality typology:
According to Jung's typology all people can be classified using three criteria.
These criteria are:
Extroversion - Introversion
Sensing - Intuition
Thinking - Feeling
Judging - Perceiving (this fourth pair added by Myers- Briggs)
The first criterion defines the source and direction of energy expression for a person. The extrovert has a source and direction of energy expression mainly in the external world while the introvert has a source of energy mainly in the internal world.
The second criterion defines the method of information perception by a person. Sensing means that a person believes mainly information he receives directly from the external world. Intuition means that a person believes mainly information he receives from the internal or imaginative world.
The third criterion defines how the person processes information. Thinking means that a person makes a decision mainly through logic. Feeling means that, as a rule, he makes a decision based on emotion.
The fourth criterion defines how a person implements the information he has processed. Judging means that a person organizes all his life events and acts strictly according to his plans. Perceiving means that he is inclined to improvise and seek alternatives.
The different combinations of the criteria determine a type. There may be sixteen types. Every type has a name (or formula) according to the combination of criteria. For example: INTP= Introvert Intuitive Thinking Perceiving.
(Me, I'm a classic INFJ, not to mention an Enneagram 5)
