It's funny. JJ and I were just talking about happiness earlier today. We are happy now, but I will focus on me because I'm not going to pretend that I can say for sure what he is thinking and I don't want to type words about him that may not be true.
As for me, I was like you a few years ago. I had 'everything' and still was very unhappy. In fact, I was unhappy to the point where I would look in the mirror and hate the image looking back at me. I contemplated suicide and became very depressed. I went to therapy and I suggest it to everyone. The first thing you need to realize is that happiness comes from within. You cannot buy happiness or acquire happiness. If I had the secret of what makes a person happy I would be a millionaire, which would not equal happiness.
I think that there is something within you that is most likely buried and needs to be dealt with so you can feel content. Therapy is great for this because you can freely talk to a person who has no links to your life. A detached person who will not judge and usually does not interfere with the progress you will make in your journey to contentment.
When I say that I am happy, I don't pin point it to a person, a possession, a career, or myself. Happiness is when you feel no regrets and know that you made the right choices in life. If you made 'wrong' choices, it is when you accept that maybe they weren't the best but at the time they were right.
To the outside world it looks like you have everything you need to be happy. However, something within you is struggling and that is what you will need to discover. I would suggest therapy or meditation.
If you want to discuss further or want someone detached from your personal life, you can always pm me. I'm pretty good at giving some advice and I have been where you are and returned. I'll be thinking of you.
