Here is a list of things that helped me.

When my kitty died I wrote a list of the good times we spent togeather and made a small memorial. (May be a trigger to some though)

Deep breathing

Help someone else. Volunteer at a hospital maybe.

At really bad points dump a bunch of coins on floor and flip them to all heads or tails, or sort them by years.

Make collages of your feelings or anything you want with old newspaper and magazines. (Use childrens saftey sizzors though)

Journal about good things that have happened. Or accomplishments in your treatment you have made. Don't write about or dwell on bad stuff in journal. If you know someone on livejournal.com that has a invite to share ask them to invite you there. (I don't have any more or I would invite you.)

Paint, Paint and Paint. Paint your feelings. It don't have to look like anything.

Go on a long walk and count your footsteps until you get back. If something comes in and you loose count- Oh Well- Just start again. The point is to keep you distracted as much as possible.

Clean and concentrate on details. (Kinda weird but it worked for me)

Lay down in a dark room and imagine a room. It does not have to be a room in your home. Picture in your head every detail of the room.

Do deep breathing with a twist. I breath in while thinking I am, and breath out thinking OK. You can put what ever helful phrase you want though.

Hope some of these help. Just remember that these will not totally fix the problem or make you feel nice and bubbly inside. But if they get you through a bad moment then they were successful. (Sorry about my spelling)
