If you decide to stay...make it a challenge to get the kids interested. Make it a challenge to work with a budget, make the curric, and make it FUN! Be creative within the framework. If you have the desire and the passion and drive...you will be a star! A long commute would def stress out most "non-IBS and anxiety" people. Most jobs have their stressors.....the question is: Do the positives out-weigh the negatives? Have you considered writing it all down in a column of pros/cons? I also like to write for ten minutes without picking up the pen (sometimes I write the word "and" for a whole page!) and try to keep on-topic and I am able to learn a heap about how I truly feel about something! (If ten minutes sounds daunting...maybe write a front and back side of a piece of paper...)
Feel free to run ideas by us.
If you decide not to stay...good for you for being truly honest with yourself and moving on. You will find something else that is better suited to you.
Whatever YOU and your heart decide...it will be for the best. You already know what's best for you! You just have to do some soul searching to find out.
Have you read the Seven Habits of Highly Effective People? The author, Franklin Covey, speaks about how we must give in order to get back. Do you feel like you're giving enough? Were you EVER happy with your job? If you feel like you've given and given and GIVEN to your job and gotten nadda back...it might be time to turn to something else. But if you feel like there's more giving to do...perhaps it shall be done before leaving?
It is all up to you friend...and the answer lies within you! (Sorry to sound so corny but it really is true!) I hope you find it soon and that it should come without too much pain and with loads of growth, Nachas, and Simcha (joy!)

Now that I've read what you and everyone had to say...
