(If you're not enjoying something but still compulsively doing it, that's a classic sign that you should stop -- it's like getting mental indigestion from reading too many books one after another, or spending too long in a museum.)
Or try cooking (less distressing than handcrafts, since the botched first attempts can be eaten to destroy the evidence), or a picturesque walk/cycle ride. It sounds as if you need less passive consumption and more activity that actually achieves something. Even growing plants from seed can help - sprout cress on your flannel :-D
Are you practising for your voice lessons? That should be occupying a chunk of time every day, if you are. I have the advantage of a vast ancestral library of songsheets, so I can just pull a stack of random (alphabetised rather than sorted by genre) songs off the shelf and sightread through them as a break from the specific exercises I've been set.

I'd suggest a creative or physical activity: when you have the camelious hump, try digging in the garden, for instance ;-) https://gurglewords.wordpress.com/2012/07/30/tuesday-poem-the-camels-hump-is-an-ugly-lump-rudyard-kipling/
