I sleep if I can. I know that sounds really simple but it takes me so much time to actually fall asleep and when I do it's usually like three AM. If I can't I draw.

@Yokuutsu Browser games are the only games I can play because I don't have gaming devices, so that game recommendation works for me. Thanks! And yes to the music, listening to k-pop really helps me.

@Outline Naps do help me reset sometimes, but other times I wake up feeling worse, so it's the toss of a coin. I want to start drawing because art and creativity of all kinds really helps, but I don't know where to start.

That's harder, to my mind. That's an ongoing, you have to live with it forever thing, instead of one single moment that's the exception instead of the rule.

I'm late to the party but what about photography?
You mentioned you take walks and taking a camera with you or even a phone and forcing yourself to take pictures will force you to look hard at your surroundings to find things to photograph and you're not thinking during that time.

Cooking/baking might help too.

Photography is absolutely a fantastic outlet. I used to be a street photographer and someone tried to sue me for taking a picture in a grocery store so I stopped.

I dont do street photography especially because the law here are pretty strict. I could get sued pretty easily for like posting somone's house on the Internet, or even worse, people, even if its their back, I could probably get away with festival pictures but even those I am a bit reluctant even though it is a grey zone. Performing artists is also difficult because it depends on their agency policy.
A grocery store would definitely be out of the question because it's considered a private property. Same goes for the inside of trains.

Basically the whole law around photography is way too complicated so I stick with easy and public buildings/places.
