"YES"
I would like to mention an analogy i have read.
1)A person waiting under hot sun for a bus will feel if any bus through his route will be great even if its crowded so that he will escape the hot sun.
2)Luckily he gets a bus.He struggled to get into the foot-board.He felt like if he could stand comfortably it would be great.
3)As passengers got down from the bus along the route , he could stand comfortably.He felt unhappy for not getting even a small place to sit.
4)A passenger who was sitting in a two seater got up and he got a seat besides a fellow passenger.Now he wanted the window seat.
He is never happy with what he has , his satisfactions are short lived and he demands more.
I feel the solution is if I feel "content" and "satisfied" with what I have , I can be more happy

I try not to be unhappy, but I'm 25 and have cancer (on my second relapse in a year's time) I have a five year old son. The solution is getting in for a donor bone marrow transplant, so hopefully I can get past all of this and move on with my life. :)
Being unhappy doesn't do anyone any good. Learn from yesterday, hope for tomorrow and live for today.

I'm unhappy sometimes because I forget how lucky I am. I focus on things that I lack & the ways that I wish my life were different instead of seeing how beautiful life is & how fortunate I am to have what I have.
The solution to unhappiness is to be happy! You choose to be happy. Look at the positive. Focus on the wonderful parts of life. Be grateful. Have fun. Enjoy the little things. Don't take anything for granted. Yes life can be painful. Bad things happen. Yes there are unpleasant things we have to do (like my job for instance!) but just look forward to the pleasant things. Do what you love. Go after your dreams. Keep your childlike sense of wonder. Never forget that life is a gift, a journey, an adventure. So go out & enjoy it!

If you leave him things are going to be very hard. Be prepared for the pressure, disappointment, shame. Your family are not going to support you. Firstly, do you have a suppport network? Do you have friends who will be there for you. Even just to be on the end of the phone. Secondly, do you have a place to stay. Friends, family members? Thirdly, income. How are you going to survive. If you don't have those things then find women's shelters, domestic violence hotlines, legal aid. Anyone you can find to talk to to support you in getting out of this situation. Then you have to think about your future. You have to be able to support yourself and pay for an attorney to get your divorce. I would start by getting a consultation with a couple or three attorneys. Most don't charge for that and you can see where you stand and what kind of costs you can expect. Then, if you still plan to leave it's time to get advice on getting away and finding somewhere to live. I can't help with emotional and social issues. Only you know how to handle your family. But those are the practiical steps I would take. Good luck.

No, I'm not unhappy, but any time that I was, I knew that it was up to me to look at the options, make some choices, and change the direction my life was going, instead of sitting and crying in my beer.
If a person is unhappy, they are the one responsible for changing that.

Not at all. Maybe you shouldn't ask unhappy people how to be happy, hmm? Like asking a dentist to cure your foot fungus. Doesn't seem like a prime source to me.
The solution to unhappiness is to let go of attachments, stop picking,choosing and comparing; and accepting life as it is. And you know what, it ain't bad.
Emerson once said, "Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity". Buddhist say, a bowl, a spoon and a robe. These are my guiding stars in the heavens.

I am unhappy as I can not stand some on my circumstances. I have a family and enviromnement that does not help to make me happy.
But familiarity attach more that confort and I can not look for other circunstances. Soem of them would never let me alone.
I just have to assume and live with them, not questioning if I could be happier living in some other circumstances.

TG you give up that craving by looking at what you have and knowing that there are a lot of people out there who have A LOT less. Living on the streets, homeless, cancer and other disease ridden, hungry, desperate, drug addicts, uneducated people who will never be educated, people who are drinking contaminated water..., jobless people...... I could go on forever......
Until you are content with what you have and know that you are fortunate to have it, that "CRAVE" will always be with you.
And while you are "craving" you are missing all of the wonderful things that you are so fortunate to have, life, roof over your head, family and friends who love and support you, clean air to breathe, a carton of milk in the refrigerator, electricity to power that refrigeration, air conditioning, and like I said, I could go on forever.
hope this helps all who find themselves being unhappy.

I'm happy now but when I'm unhappy I go out with my friends cause they always cheer me up or I go for a walk with my dog cause she's really funny!
