I was afraid you'd ask that (no, it's okay):-)
For me, it's all about structure/routine. I find much deviation is unsettling. So, it's work (& work is not too stressful), exercise (very important for me), reading and sleeping. I keep socializing to the weekends because that disrupts my routine. When I absolutely must grocery shop, I do it at a small neighborhood market (because crowds overwhelm me). I used to cook but no longer (making decisions about what to buy and what to prepare makes me nuts).
It's simple albeit dysfunctional, but it works for me.
Do you exercise? It really helps with anxiety and depression. I have a sturdy treadmill which I walk fast on 1 hour, 5 days/week while I'm watching tv.
