Just saying you're stressed due to trading is not helpful. What causes the stress? When exactly do you feel stressed out? As long as people don't answer these questions it is impossible to help them. Most likely you are not really stressed due to trading, you're stressed because of some aspects of trading. Some aspects could be:
1. keeping positions overnight but you're not made for this
2. too big positions
3. the permanent visibility of P&L in Metatrader and other applications
4. you have no idea what you're doing (if you try to copy other peoples "strategies" without understanding them for example) - a prevalent Forex forum problem
5. too tight SL or too wide SL (usually comes in a tandem with 4)
There are quite possibly other reasons but the crucial point is you need to find out why exactly trading is giving you stress. It is the same with finding out why someone loses - no, he doesn't lose because the game is rigged, Wolfgang Schauble or the lady from the Fed conspired to make him lose or because of the Free Masons, the pyramid on the dollar note or his broker or [insert any shitty loser excuse here]. The reasons why trading is giving you stress is in your trading (or in your trading in relation to your mindset) just like the question why you lose. The great thing is: Some of these aspects are changeable. Some very easy (3 with duct tape), some not so easy (develop a new strategy).
You can also work on your mindset. Trading Psychology is an interesting and serious topic very underrepresented in this forum. The book "Trading in the Zone" or the works of Brett Steenbarger can be very helpful. For German speakers, there is also a very good book by Norman Welz "Tradingpsychologie".
Am I stressed while trading? No. I'm not angry when I lose but I'm also not "high" when I won. I know that my strategy is solid, I know the market conditions when it works best, when it doesn't and how to tell them apart.
