Wow, that's very detailed! You really have a talent for drawing mazes. I agree with Lurker - you could make a book!
I learned that I really love colouring the first time I was in the hospital - this is before adult colouring books were such a big thing. I also found out that I like word searches, and jigsaw puzzles. Whatever it takes to keep the mind occupied, I guess!
Oh, and writing has the same effect on me - just rehashing the same old thoughts. One of the nurses suggested ending my writing sessions with 3 (or so) things I am grateful for. It sounds hokey, but it did help change my mindset when I was done writing. Eventually that morphed into just doing a gratitude journal (which has been sadly neglected so quite some time!)
