Tried some light exercise riding stationary bike and tried stretching everything around my body slowly and my body felt good for a couple minutes then went right back to feeling shitty and tight and anxious/stressed

A couple of minutes is not nothing!

Hi Adamj, Blueruth is correct in that "A couple of minutes is not nothing!".It's a start, a step forward but the body needs more.

It's not the quantity of time you spend exercising and stretching but the repetitive

practice in doing that each day. After a while, the muscles won't be so tight, you won't

feel so tense because the Endorphin levels will rise, making you feel good and so alive.

Don't give up after one try. A little each day is worth going forward. :) xx

Takes 40 minutes of exercise. Baby steps keep going longer each day. Keep up the good work. You found the secret recipe.
