There are some great studies on happiness which you should read.
Seligman from the University of Pennsylvania is the best known researcher in this area. He does have a website on this very subject. One thing he advocates is to think of the three best things that happened during the day. Surprisingly, this works.
There are all kinds of over-the-counter supplements that affect mood, but you have to research them or consult a physician before taking them. They are vitamins, HTP-5, Kava kava (which has caused death in a few people), SAM-E and St. John's Wort. There are lots of anti-depressant prescription medicines which also address happiness. You might get a simple blood test. I found out that I was low in iron and that affected my mood.
Diet, exercise and music also affect mood.
Lastly, I find that I need to do something that is important or exciting to me. Currently I enjoy this site and accessing my library's website. On that site, I reserve all kinds of CDs and DVDs. Each day, I go and pick them up. It is like getting free gifts!

Nobody can answer this question for you. You have to find what makes you happy and do it!! Find a hobby that you enjoy and get good at it, The journey will be fun and when you get real good, you'll feel proud!I personally like scrapbooking because it's fun, keeps all of my memories and is something tangable that can show how much I care for my son, hisband and the rest if my family! There's so much in life that can make a person happy, you just have to find it. good luck!

Maintain good relationships with your family, make sure you have a few close friends you can depend on and have fun with, find a job you enjoy, eat properly and get enough exercise, and practice your religion if you have one. These are the basics of life, and they have been proven to help insure happiness, more so than money or possessions or power.

I was diagnosed with depression about 15 years ago. I have found that although the meds I take help me to be functional, the best way for me to be happy is to pray and focus on God's love. Reading my Bible, spending time with those who love me, and finding out what my purpose in life is have all been the basis of what keeps me happy. Christ is the source of my happiness! Check out what the Word of God says about who you are to God and how much He loves you! That's definately something to be happy about. : )

It's a hard question, when we often don't have the answer to that for ourselves.
I tended to live very monotonously for a while: work-house-slee-work-house-sleep- (repeat as needed)
I started searching for different activities to find what I really like. I ended up mountain biking. It's crazy, but that's really fun, healthfull and I enjoy it a lot.
I don't know almost anything about you or your problems, but maybe try to do something different to what you're doing now.
