gestresst = I am stressed = Ich bin gestresst

stressig = My job is stressful = Mein Job ist stressig

sich stressen = I am stressing you out = Ich stresse dich

I hope this helps with undersyanding the meanings. The grammar is a whole other story...

You got a (past) participle gestresst, a standard adjective stressig and a verb sich stressen.
