This topic is getting pretty far afield from development. But that's okay by me.

One of the things I've done to help me cope with my own anxiety and (mild) depression is the practice of mindfulness meditation. Which is a focus on "living in the now", and not "living in the past" (regrets) or "living in the future" (anxiety).

It may not be for everybody, but it is helpful for me. It's easy, and free.
