Distracting yourself by taking up drinking or having sex with strangers isn't a healthy method lol but healthy distractions aren't bad.such as hobbies exercises talking to friends or helping others.

what helps when I am down is being busy ( not too busy). My t also recommends staying busy. Too much idle time isn't good.

And There were few times when I spent the entire day on PC chat. Once it was on easter. And once in January. Both times I was down so chat kept me so preoccupied plus I wax able to share my feelings so I had no time to cry. I really appreciated that there is a chat room and that people are so supportive. I wouldn't go in to other chats only PC ones.

Try chats.

I pick on my skin too. Not only when upset but pretty much all the time it is extremely bad habit. Can't stand it
