I always make myself do something outside like pop to the shops. I also make myself do chores like batch cook. Then I distract myself with twitch it’s easy and mindless

Depends on how bad it is. Milder? Similar to your strategy. I try to go outside, or even meet friends shortly. Do one or two easy tasks. Treat myself a bit, so maybe I will eat a few sweets or drink a cup of fancy coffee. If it is bad I will only crawl to the sofa, tuck me in and maybe watch some TV. Sometimes lighter material, sometimes only documentaries about people im the same or similar situations help. Those documentaries prevent me from feeling like the only affected person and most offer also interesting outlooks and insights. Basically therapy-light for me.
Ditto, going outside with some physical exercises boosts my endorphins levels a bit. Playing instruments too. Socializing is very helpful for those bad days.
