How To Deal When All You Want To Do Is Scream

If there was ever a time when we all needed an extra boost in the happiness department, it would be now. I can't sign onto Facebook without seeing people fighting and calling each other names and saying terrible, heartbreaking things like, "Make America great again!" I'm in desperate need of things to help me deal when all I want to do is scream — so I went looking for them. Most of these things make me laugh until my face hurts; one or two give me the good cry I need. Whatever the case may be, I always feel better after visiting these pages, which serve as a reminder that there are still things to smile about in our world, even if one of them isn't the president of our country and all of the people he's appointing to serve him.

But I won't get into that... right now. This is about self-care, after all.

Research has shown that smiling can help improve your mood and reduce stress, and a good belly laugh can boost your immune system and release a burst of endorphins. Having a good time is literally good for your health. Don't let current affairs cloud your state of happiness too much (although of course keep fighting the good fight, too). Keep on scrolling and feel the love.

8Every Single Post On Bustle's Instagram Page

I know what you're thinking, and don't worry: Bustle did request permission before they used these photos of me. (And also, no, those aren't really photos of me. Just, y'know, in case that wasn't actually clear.)
