Yeah me too for most of them - gardening, painting, music, poetry have all suffered and largely stopped (I have literally managed one painting and that was digital, and one poem this whole year, composed no music for months either and hardly play). But I've largely managed to keep less demanding things like walking/cycling going as they take me out which is an important escape for me. I do find if I am very emotional or upset I find the Yoga too demanding as I find it hard to be in my body, but can usually at least manage the breathing exercises and most weeks have managed to get to some classes, just skipped a few when feeling too bad.

The garden is neglected but I have just rented an allotment and will try and push myself to do something on that this weekend if the weather holds up.

Hope you find some strategies that work, even if just small things at first can be a glimmer of hope.
