Doesn't work for everyone. I've tried it a few times and only wind up with a worse headache afterwards.

Agreed.
As for other methods of coping with anxiety... If taking my mind off it or forcing the emotion into something creative doesn't work, I just keep on going over whatever is causing it until I am so sick of thinking about it that I realize worrying about it isn't solving anything and it suddenly becomes so easy to stop thinking about it.
Most of my non-healthy methods of coping with anxiety have become completely fubar recently, and in fact present me with more worry than I had previously. Feeling ill doesn't help you forget what's bothering you (although some may say the hours which you have blacked out due to overindulgance were worth it as you can't recall being anxious).
Jam it back in, in the dark.
