I find reading peaceful and relaxing. All my worries and problems disappear for a time. I just finished reading the Secret Garden, a favourite of my mum's.

Harry Potter is pretty good - I particularly like the audiobooks narrated by Stephen Fry.
My favourites are probably anything by Terry Pratchett (read all the Diskworld books at least once) but also like some more "thinking" books like Isaac Asimovs Foundation series and Arthur C Clarkes Childhoods End.
I need to be in the right frame of mind to read those mind you, but it does feel like taking your mind to the gym for a workout at points.
Have you ever tried writing something - even a short story?
Your writing sounds interesting. I think the perspective of a lot of children's toys and bears must be interesting. I hope you can find the mental space to start this.
I might try some typing writing see how that goes for me.
My Gran used to do a lot of writing. She had this really old typewriter and she would sit at it for hours each day writing. She used to write stories for me when I was little and they were really good. I often thought she should have been an author.
