Hello, August26hippie,
I’m sorry you’re dealing with anxiety and some low moods. It seems to happen to many around this time, you’re feeling better, but not great enough to fully jump back into life.
I agree with, Chris, about getting out of the house. When I was around three weeks post op, I was feeling a bit down and a recovery buddy of mine asked if I’d been out to smell the roses, which I really hadn’t. It does seem to make a difference to get out for a car ride and play some of your favorite music, or go out for a meal with a friend / family member, or consider inviting someone over for coffee and dessert. The busier you can stay, the better, reminding yourself frequently that it will pass, and it will.
Some ideas - Crossword puzzle books, adult coloring books. Plan out a future vacation, or weekend getaway, start a Pinterest board, peruse home decor ideas on Houzz, start a recipe collection, play online games, watch Netflix, or movies on the Hallmark Channel etc. Phone calls are also a pick me up and a way to help fill the day. Nothing like the support of a friend or loved one when we’re feeling lonely or isolated. Check out the Social Room here also, if you haven't yet. That can provide hours of entertainment through games and threads to read.

Sending a hug
and wishing you a peaceful relaxing weekend!
