Your drawing is lovely. I suppose online comedy would be my go- to when down.

Beach walk with dog when l can muster up the energy, also crosswords. Music is a given, but when feeling down comedy first port of call - both stand- up and podcasts

I recently started doing masterpiece by numbers. It's a paint by numbers for adults. It has seriously helped me when my anxiety and depression are going crazy. It's soothing to find the numbers you are looking for and painting exactly within the lines is a challenge but it helps keep my mind occupied and its nice to be creating something beautiful. I also watch a lot of true crime shows, or listen to them while painting. I'm not sure why, but they relax me lol.
