what is the meaning of the following sentence:------ I have had really a bad day.

I have had a really bad day. = I have had a very bad day.

I have really had a bad day. = I have truly had a bad day. (or) I have certainly had a bad day.

I have had really a bad day is not common where I live (western US)

Yes, it is grammatically correct to use both have had and had in the same sentence. If I say I have had a bad day, the day probably is not over yet. Other things can happen. It's possible that the day will get worse or better.

But if I say I had a bad day, the day probably is over. Or the part that was bad seems to be over.

Examples:

I have had fun at this party. (I may be staying at the party; the party will continue)

I had fun at this party. (I will not be staying at the party any longer. Or the party is over.)
