Is it possible to switch back to CP

I should have opted for CP, this whole AOS is frustrating. I think the whole process is having a bad impact on my health.

Yes, it's possible (I-824 or attorney certified I-140 if approved for AOS and if the consulate accepts it). However, it's not worthwhile, especially so since you already did 2nd FP and your day must be very very close now.
I, too, think I should have gone for CP - but then, the delay was not anticipated at that time. So not much sense in regretting...
Best wishes,

Yes, but you have to decide for yourself whether it's worthwhile. If I-824 takes 6 months, CP itself can take upto 8 months (typically, 6 months; but recently these times, too, have increased). Also, CP is not advisable if your job-prospects are uncertain and if you/dependent violated legal visa status in past. Once you file I-824, AOS is automatically terminated. If AOS is denied, you can always appeal. If visa during the CP is denied (happens extremely rare), that's the end of your immigration ambition. CP is ideal for those whose I-140 was approved in EB-1/NIW as there are no job related complications.
