Welcome @jod12, Thank you for sharing your experience with BFS. I think you are right about stress making it worse and causing the symptoms. Here's some information I found that talks about the stress...
"Symptoms of BFS also appear to be a cause of stress and anxiety for people who have the condition. It is unclear if this stress and anxiety make symptoms worse, though many people report that it does. If stress does exacerbate the symptoms, then some people could find themselves in a cycle of BFS symptoms and anxiety." --- https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/320388#symptoms
The article also mentions that meditation, yoga and listening to calming music may help reduce the stress or anxiety along with a few other tips. You mentioned being sick a lot and that is not helping. Have you seen a doctor about what may be causing you to be sick?

Thank you for your reply John. No I haven't specifically gone to them about being sick alot but my blood tests apart from my liver look fine no deficiencies except on the lower side for iron. I was even told my immune system looks fine after bloods I'm not sure how they found that out. I have a toddler in preschool who gets sick often and I catch whatever she catches. I'm sick of being sick though ,it's been ongoing like this for almost two years now and I feel like it's shortening my lifespan.
I will read the article thank you!! 😊
Currently getting a bad flare up of BFS that is making my anxiety worse and stopping me from being able to nap
