I was so stressed that ...
[refers only to the past, the speaker may or may not be stressed now].
ex: Monday, I was so stressed that ...
ex: This morning, I was so stressed that ...
I have been so stressed that ...
[refers to the past and the present, the speaker is still stressed]
ex: I have been so stressed [lately] that I mixed up the days [on Monday, this morning]
I am so stressed that ...
[refers to the present, but the meaning is past and present - this works if the past is recent]
ex: I am so stressed that I mixed up the days [this morning].

You would just change “am ” to “was" for the past tense version
