Even gardening has been helpful. I'm a bit OCD/ADHD and proud of it.. I have spread out my garden into the horses pastures for a few acres now. Just grew what I could and learned as I went. It took a lot of mistakes to get it right. When I first started gardening I didn't know the difference between annuals and perennials. A few years later now my garden is a lovely area to relax and just play in the soil.

Gardening did actually help with one important thing that used to bother me a lot more, getting dirty. having to with "gross" things like soil and compost with my bare hands help me to getting more comfortable to the dirtinnes of every day life, before that i used to run to wash my hands after returning from work (this was years before covid) and now i can touch my cats and money without feeling sick. Of course the pandemic set me back but im much better now, thank you for your advice.
