If stress is hurting your ability to focus, I would recommend trying exercise. Like a lot of it. 40 hours a week even. I know it sounds really shitty, but going through hell is usually the fastest way out. I've tried the curl-up-in-a-ball thing a few times and it always makes it worse than if I just endure and push through. The human mind has an incredible ability to develop master strategy when you force the body to endure unhappy experiences. Right now, it sounds like the suffering of your body is not well-aligned with the suffering in your mind. As the physical suffering equals or exceeds the mental suffering, you may begin to feel relief.
