Everyone has different things that help them to relax, just like everyone has different things that have the opposite effect. I myself feel truly relaxed when doing art, but it took me a while to figure that out. For the longest time I stayed in my comfort zone, not leaving my home, not trying anything new. When I eventually did, I discovered my interest in art.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, when I felt the same way, I eventually got back up after finding something I enjoyed, but the only way I could've ever done that is by trying something new. Now, I'm not saying to go out and make friends with the world, I myself never did like socializing, all I'm saying is, if you're like me, maybe just try new things. It doesn't need to be anything big, but I do have advice.
In my experience, the best place to start is in your past. Everyone has things in their past they used to be interested in, but lost interest, and that's fine, but many people also have things they were interested, but never ended up trying out. Find something you wanted to do at some point, but never did, and go ahead and try it out. Sooner or later, I promise you'll come across something that clicks in with you, something which makes you feel relaxed. I know this probably sounded super cheesy, and I remember thinking the same thing, until I finally found my connection with art.
