"it's starting to affect my mental health" Are you sure it isn't a symptom of your mental health, instead of the other way around? Your mental health may be affecting how you perceive the things going on around you, versus the things going on around you creating new or increased symptoms. Anxiety can provoke obsessive responses, and vice versa, which seems to apply to what you've suggested. I'd look into that at least, since it can give you ideas of what you need to focus on to cope better. Just about everything 2020 is hard on peoples' mental health. Take care of yourself as best you can. I actually really enjoyed the cleanliness and quiet/calmness of the air during the height of lockdown. Sad to see, hear and smell it all going back to where it was... but looking back on it does bring some satisfaction.
