My issue now is what to say on job applications for reasons for leaving and whether I should or should not say they can contact my former boss. And if I say "no" what the professional way to explain what happened is.
One thing that might help is to say you quit for "health reasons" or something like that. Be vague, but assure your new employer that you don't expect them to affect your new job. Because "I was too stressed out to function" is a completely valid health problem.
