Coping Skills

Hi,
My husband and I have been going through a difficult patch at the moment, most of which are steming from badly treated depression on both our parts.
I'm doing my bit once we get over the busy birthday/Christmas/new yr/birthday cycle we have at this time of yr and seeing a counsellour and hoping hubby will to.
I looking for some coping strategies that people use to deal with their anxieties in the mean time..
Thanks..
