Especially if you aren’t able to really get out of bed or out of the house, I would double up on what @Vickim said, but also add gaming. Personally, I play Stardew Valley, RimWorld (on peaceful bc geez can that game get intense), and other games of that sort to calm me down and get me distracted for at least a little when I’m extremely anxious. They don’t require too impressive of a computer either, and I’d say are rather affordable for the replayability that you get out of the game. If that’s not your kinda jig, watch some shows from your childhood! I always love revisiting cartoons from when I was younger or movies that I used to have on VHS.
