I like to practice mindfulness meditation during rough times. Find someplace quiet. Sit or lay in a comfortable position and close your eyes. Try to focus on your breathing, and nothing else. Pay attention to one particular aspect of the breath if it's too hard to focus on breathing as a whole. For instance, the feel of the air moving out your nostrils or mouth as you exhale, or the rise of the chest when you inhale. When a thought breaks your concentration, acknowledge that thought and accept it for what it is, neither good or bad. This is important. It is what it is. Then try to focus on breathing again. Try not to think of thoughts as good or bad, better or worse, right or wrong. They simply are what they are. I don't know if it will make you feel better or not, but it just might help to settle down your mind and make it easier to get through the day.
