first, it sounds like you're having problems with the lack of stress in your life now that school and family issues have ended... from what you've said it seems you're doing ok as far as avoiding negative behaviors but are looking for something to keep you occupied... and i hate to say it but you probably need to learn to relax a bit
what about setting some personal, non-work, non-family goals for yourself (you do this all the time in the gym; why not do the same mentally) - reading something new (or joining a book club? - intelligent discussion is good); perhaps catching up on films you've not seen; going to the theatre or museums or traveling?; or learning something you've been interested in for fun (i know you're into the house thing - so maybe learn how to do electrical or carpentry work; taking a class in a new language might be a good choice too)
the goals don't have to be big but they should be something you enjoy (or think you will - you may not once you try them) and want to get better at understanding, doing, etc - not to add stress back into your life, but to give yourself something to work toward
