I'm having a bad day. Are you having a bad day too? I think a combination of recent events and the past year have just left me jaded and frazzled. I've had enough. I'm trying to stick by the 'Bad Day' rules, trying so hard.
*Side note, if you're at school, college or work and can't escape, just breathe. find a stress ball and try very VERY hard not to scream at your teachers, friends or boss*
The Bad Day Rules:
If you're having a bad day it's okay to be antisocial - so long as you go about it in the right way (try not to be rude).
If it can wait, do it tomorrow when you're in a better mood.
Chill out, listen to music, read, watch T.V...
Avoid games/ activities that will p*** you off if you lose, sounds odd but if I start playing Candy Crush when I'm in a bad mood, my phone is likely to end up being launched across the room.
If you're feeling horrid and fat avoid junk food, bready things or anything stodgy. They'll make you bloat and feel sluggish and thus, worse.
If you're the type of person that can face exercise, do some Yoga or something. It helps a bit. Honest.
BATH TIME. Get out those smelly bath bombs, pretty perfumes, candles and bubbles. Hide away in the bath and you know, shave your legs or something.
Sleep it off, sometimes a nap takes the edge off being cranky.
Avoid people that are overly nice, or just too overpowering personality wise. If you're like me, they'll just wind you up even more. If you find yourself in a conversation with someone and all they're doing is saying how much they like you, or how well they're doing and all the amazing things that are going off, and you start to get the urge to scream and throw something at them, make excuses and cut the conversation off, before you say something you shouldn't.
Sit and cry. Do it, get it all out m'dear. Have a tissue, or the whole box, whatever. Don't bottle it in, that's bad.
If someone is willing to listen, rant rant rant. Or rant to yourself, that works too, then I can rant about anything and not worry about anyone getting offended.
Try to think before you speak. Reign in those sarcastic comments, try not to snap and just breathe. It will be home time soon.
Try not to fall out with the mirror, if you really can't face yourself today, avoid the mirror unless absolutely necessary. Look down when you wash your hands, quickly adjust your hair and move on etc.
Remember, we are beautiful, wonderful people. No matter our shape, size or appearance. We're not perfect, perfect is boring.
Sending cyber *hugs* to anyone else who is having a tough time, a bad day, or anyone who is just feeling poop.

Just keep swimming. I read when I'm depressed--at least that's other people's troubles!
