What makes a day become a "bad day"?

[Eternal Eyes]

There's nothing worse than thinking "man today is awful, what time is it?" and seeing its 9am. For me when a day starts bad, it never improves. It just seems to become a gauntlet of never ending bullshit until i can mercily get to bed.

For me seeing someone I dislike on a morning walk is always the mark of a bad day starting. Like my boss who I saw as I walked past Starbucks the other day (fortunately didn't see me) Another one is getting a bad letter in the morning post. A bad email also counts.

Surely I'm not alone here? I'm not a morning person anyway but I find a bad morning always segues into a bad day.

Yea, that could happen (feeling so bitter and heartbroken sometimes).

A serious answer for me would probably be either a day where life changes for the worst or a day where things don't turn around for the better.

Simple maths: the ratio of bad things that happened within the day outweighing the good things. Some bad and good things may weigh more or less so it's certainly possible that one bad thing can blow out tons of good things to make a bad day and Vice versa.

having to wake up at a certain time, instead of beinf able to sleep as long as i want.
waking up to messages of friends arguing, or someone being annoyed at me, or someone shitting on something i like/care abt.
knowing theres no leftovers i want to eat, so itll b an exhausting struggle to not be hungry all day.
having to shower.
having to leave the house.

Looking in the mirror is my biggest trigger

Looking in the mirror is my biggest trigger

Same for me, I used to be very overweight until around the pandemic when I lost a bunch of weight and reached an "average" size but even now sometimes I'll be having a great day and feel great about myself but then I catch a glimpse of my reflection in a window and my posture shifts back to how it used to be and I feel so shitty about myself

My worst days are when I try to reach out to friends and either nobody replies or the responses feel canned. I know they're all living their lives, but it hurts feeling so alone.

 

[Catch-22]

Like it's been said just waking up.. everyday I wake up in agonizing pain physically and mentally. It's the opposite of having a bad dream and waking up and realizing it was only a dream. My real life is worse than any nightmare I've ever had.
