Sounds like a lot: of stress. Ask your doctor if pychotherapy or counselling might be beneficial. Your doctor might even recommend medications until you get over your hopefully temporary difficulties. Pain below rib cage might be something not related to stress, so have your doctor take a look.

See your doctor: Your stress may be leading to other problems, such as ulcer disease. You also may need some help with your anxiety. It sounds like a good time to get support from your physician. All the best.
