Aw, OP, there are so many hobbies for an anxious soul than gaming. Drawing and doodling are great for short attention spans. Comic books are, too, because they're very short. Even a trade paperback takes about 30 minutes to read at best. You can try single-player board games (there are WAY more than you'd think), too. There's other more physical stuff like knitting and crocheting, which is a one-person event and very good if you need repetitive tasks to keep you busy. Really there's loads of stuff out there worth trying.

If you find yourself in the situation where it's not the hobby but the stamina/discipline to keep trying, then that's all about practice. Do a thing for a designated amount of time (say, 15 minutes of doodling or crocheting) then slowly ramp that time up week by week. Discipline is inherent to no-one. Everyone has to practice to learn it. (Although admittedly some people have to work harder than others to achieve it. ADHD and anxiety are very real blockades that require a kind approach.)

I'd say try and dial back from video games. Not only do you seem zeroed in on them, but it seems like you're zeroed in on them so you can bludgeon yourself with it like it's a failure. It's not. No one blames a fish for being bad at flying. You just don't like video games. It's fine. Zoom out, look for other hobbies. And in the meantime, work on being kinder to yourself.
