... if you believe that what you're working on is good and useful.
What I'm thinking of is some kind of volunteer work that would have no overt connection to your own issues: something like helping to clean a park or working in a nature preserve -- that sort of thing. There's a lot to be said for having a concrete task to focus your strength and energy on. Your brain could rest, and let your muscles take over for a while.
Another good thing about physical labor: the more tired you get, the better you sleep. Good sleep is a great blessing. Without it, there is no peace of mind.
