Whether you have depression, anxiety, or if you’re just extremely stressed and overwhelmed with life, we all have those days where you literally feel like shit. You’re not sick, but you don’t want to get out of bed.

You can’t focus on anything, and you’re simply having an awful day. Fortunately, there are some simple things you can do to improve your mood. If you’re in one of those shitty days, try any number of the items on this list until you feel better. And remember: it gets better.

1. Drink some water — you could be dehydrated

2. Go for a walk

3. Read a book

4. Listen to your favorite song

5. Talk to a friend

6. Take a nap

7. Take a bubble bath

8. Clean your room — this can really help give you something to focus on and distract you

9. Watch your favorite movie

10. Cry, just let it all out

11. Go for a drive

12. Do one small thing on your to-do list

13. Bake something

14. Eat some chocolate

15. Exercise

16. Get dressed and make yourself look nice. Even if you don’t think it’ll help, you’ll feel better afterward

17. Make your favorite comfort food

18. Eat whatever you’re craving

19. Paint a picture

20. Take a photo of something pretty

21. Tell someone you love them

22. Write in a journal about your feelings

23. Change your location and get out of the house

24. Go do something you’ve always wanted to do — by yourself

25. Pet your dog/cat

26. Or go to an animal shelter to pet a dog/cat

27. Smile

28. Look up inspirational quotes

29. Doodle

30. Accept that some days are going to be worse than others and that it's OK to feel shitty. "Tomorrow the sun will rise, and we will try again."

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
