You stalking me???
Seriously, that's my therapy, but yeah, something that requires some intensive focus along with relaxation is the ticket.
(There's always beer, though I don't always recommend it.)
During my darker days, it often seemed like nothing I did would work. Reading, watching TV, surfing the web, even exercising would have my mind wandering. However, I did find some relief in travel--at the time, I was in southeastern Connecticut and a five-minute walk to a one-hour train ride into NYC, which gave me a sort of sensory overload as far as planning out my route and activities plus the general cacaphony of the city. I don't know how your brain works, but any kind of trip planning and execution, even if it's just out into the country trying to find obscure roads, seems to help me.
