I agree that you shouldn't appear to be hiding in a bunker (leave the door open if you take that advice). The idea is not to set there stewing.
Doing things around the house is a fantastic idea, IMO. Especially if you didn't do much of that before. And simple tasks can be good therapy and give you a sense of accomplishment.
Good job! Keep thinking about the positive changes.
