Great job. I really appreciated this. I'm both infp and hsp. Such a tough thing to describe to anyone else, but you did well. Your comments on rumination and drinking were identical to my own experience. I quit the booze 3 years ago at age 40. My moderation skills are zero. I'm still looking for a replacement but meditation is better than nothing. Thanks for your work. I will go to sleep tonight feeling understood. Wes.
