Cooking sounds like it’s good for you @Snowie 

I live by myself (except for my dog) so I can only experiment on myself cooking-wise.

 I am an introvert by nature and I have really pushed myself to be more social, which is often anxiety provoking. Since I retired, which is very recently, I realised I needed to have more social contact as I was feeling depressed and without a purpose without work.

 I am doing a day of volunteering as well.
