Set simple targets to achieve, and watch for the circular reasoning. Walk or excercise.

If you are getting panics or phobias especially if they're keeping you indoors; breath slowly and regularly, relax as far as possible. If you can remember find something that you find calming or lovely to visualise, do so but watch out for hearing, music can trip me up badly.

Above all remember we don't know how bad it is for you but we do know we want to help
