I have done it, and I found that it didn't make that much of a difference. If your financial situation is such that you won't have to worry about money if you're not working, then yes, I could see the difference in your stress level making a difference in how you feel. I wasn't in such a situation.  In fact, this past spring was the WORST I've ever been IBS-wise, and I wasn't working... but I *was* very stressed about money and trying to find work, and things like that.
I second the suggestion to maybe try to find a job that won't stress you out as much. When I first moved here, I was working in a call center, and there's NO WAY that was going to work out - the stress was so bad that I'd be sick every morning just out of dread. My boyfriend and I talked about it, and he decided that it was a no-brainer to quit the job and try to get something part-time that wasn't as stressful. Sometimes it's worth sacrificing bits and pieces of your lifestyle (we stopped eating out, and decided not to get cable, things like that) to feel better.
