Always start small and stop early.

Also check out Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. You can google it and do it yourself. A way of changing negative thought patterns. Or you can find a therapist that uses it. Just google it again and that person can get you started. No long time session about all of your past experiences. Just a simple way to make positive changes in your outlook.
I got started in Radical Behaviorism back in the 90s. I was so nuts I went to college to major in clinical psychology. Later it became Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Much better and useful.
I have found that straying busy and exercise are great for me. Walked 4 miles today and yesterday. Seems to get rid of my aches and pains. 75 years old and they can add up.
