Stress

He actually enjoys cleaning his bathroom? Each to their own I suppose. I find cleaning my room and organising stuff quite therapeutic so I can't judge really!

Kinda like you here. Not always my room but my DVD section. I'll set up different orders when I'm worrying or need to occupy myself, so one day it'll be arranged in favourite movies, genres, rating and alphabetical order (reading that back, it sounds really lame). Right now it's a mess because everyone moves them in spite to annoy me.

I'm not great at dealing with stress at all and sometimes it's lead to panic attacks (saying that, I avoid places I believe I'll panic so I don't have them all that often, usually at night when I'm struggling to sleep and everything just falls in my mind and I feel as if I can't breathe kk moving on)

To calm myself I usually watch movies (or clips from my favourite movies to save time) to try and relax me. I'll try watching something that's not a comedy though because that usually makes me feel overwhelmed and there's a flood of emotions which, before, made things worse.

I'll also go downstairs and go on our exercise bike and do some exercise to try cheering myself up as usually I'll feel a tiny bit better after.
Going on walks / jogs have also proved good for me recently because it allows me to have time to think and if I do feel a little bit stressed / panicky then there's always an escape. Usually when I've had panic attacks it's been because I've had no escape of the situation. Same with my anxiety, if I can't get out of the place that's bothering me, it'll get a hell of a lot worse. Like I've avoided so many things like prom and my friends parties bc I'm worried about ruining all of their nights (and mine)
