Get some exercise, make small changes in your life and find out what is actually bothering you. Chemical koshes are not the best option, only the most convenient.
Another vote for getting out somewhere where the fresh air can leak into your bones. Walking around is also a great time to do some thinking. Sat around at home it's easy to get locked into a certain pattern of thinking. But outside, around natural scenery (if you have any nearby!) your brain is getting input which evolution designed it for.
That sounds daft, but our domestic lives are pretty unnatural. Open air encourages open thinking... I find anyway. Mind you, it's getting dark out there now, and that's not going to cheer anyone up!
I always try to keep a book in reserve which I really want to read. I save such books for times when I need a break from reality, or to change my mental direction. Ok, computer games can give a similar escape, but there's a different kind of temporary escape available between the non-techy covers of a paperback.
I also store up comedy shows for times when I really need a laugh, both on my PVR and as podcasts. You might try listening to either of these... they cheer me up!
