I was thinking about this the other day, how often do I actually sustain a prolonged feeling of happiness. I worked out it was approximately 2/3 times a fortnight. Either when my fridge is full of new fresh food and my weekly favourite tv show is on or when im drunk, by myself of course, but not everytime I drink I am actually happy. So in a nutshell, the happiness in my life atm is determined by a crappy tv show and the ammount of food in my fridge. That does sound really sad...
When do you actually feel happy?

Hie yer hence from me heath!
What Hidwell said, basically. But if ye want tae go intae detail...
Listenin' tae music
Playin' the guitar for 2 hours or more
Comedy (Stand-up or sitcoms usually)
Movies (Mostly comedy, again... Man, ah must be depressed as f**k!)
So, me, in a nutshell, ma happiness is determined by a sh*it loada TV sitcoms, standup comedy, and guitars. Oh aye... and music.
6 years ago, before I went to college, I felt truly happy. But over the past 6 years, I have not experienced a single moment of true happiness. Even though sometimes I smile and my eyes light up, the happiness is accompanied by a feeling that someone or something is constantly monitoring me.
So to answer the question, I felt truly happy when I have true freedom to do what i want, to be me without worrying about who's monitoring me or trying to control my life.

It's a feeling of envy of someone (known friends or the famous or royal)
Thinking such things are possible; if I got some luck
Someone gets disabled in an accident and manages to restore their lifestyle after recovery, including the accompaniament of others
Due to my career being crippled for no reason explained at all
with no friends, family or employer, life reaches a swift end.
I don't really need any crowbar'ing off the street (support / help)
All I need is for someone to listen to me for once, show respect and let me work, by stopping telling me that I can't. They seal my fate and enjoy being paid for that
I have social stamina and verve. Not quite at homeless state yet
Something can happen to cheer me up. It's a reminder that a lot of things in the world are very simple, basic & easy. I hate all the happy people who never have to do anything - they just always love everything throughout life, forever. I concentrate on my worries and let them drag me down. A world of happy and gay people
I do want riots in recruiter agency offices. By dismembering these people in severe pain from burns, chemical methods, putting me in jail forever would change the world, by political decision to disallow recruitment to prevent employment

When I buy new clothes. That is about the only time I feel happy for sustained periods because I feel really good in new clothes, and I like to buy things.

I'm happiest when I'm engaged in some form of escapism such as video-games, action movies or speculative fiction books. Or when I'm daydreaming about adventures in my own little fantasy world. I'm a adult that still lives in my own little land of make-believe.

Know that feeling. It is a power that must never be used for evil.
Yes consuming always brings hqppiness, whether its a chicken subway or a new car, humans are just big fat consumers. Without money or the means and resources to consume things humans become extremely depressed and introverted. We cannot live like our fellow animal kingdom.
When I do my maintenance to the place where I grew up, in the mountains away from people, I burn the woods off (this is an actual fire prevention technique used to keep leaves and brush to a minimum to offset the chances of non-controlled forest fires). I take my son and we saw up trees from the winter storms that have fallen in the yard and pile up the limbs and burn them and we spend several hours bush hogging with the tractor. I do all the work because my son is only 3 years old but we both enjoy it. He loves riding on the tractor with me. Any time I can load my son and my chainsaw in the truck and get a couple jugs of gas for the tractor and go up there to work I take full advantage. Something about the sun beating down on me, the taste of water out of the old well, and the smoke that old tractor makes when it fires up... pure enjoyment. Then come home to suburbia and my miserable job.

These days i can never relax. Always fidgety, nervy, anxious, worrying, miserable. And now it's worse than ever, as my OCD is high again, and my energy is very low.
Perhaps i should go back to drinking alcohol, as that was always my only real way of relaxing & being temporarily happy.

When things go my way but at the moment I'm not happy

I feel that way too. But some videogames and other electronics make me happy too. When I see my favorite brother, I get really happy. Or when I feel nostalgia.
