One measure of happiness is being satisfied with what you’ve got.

It’s clear that you are becoming unhappy. At 80, I’m pretty happy and have been getting more so.

Like most people here, I’d recommend taking care of yourself physically. And go for long walks in the woods and parks. Appreciate what an amazing place this universe is!

I could make a number of suggestions beyond that, but I think the best one would be to take up a study of Zen, which is largely about escaping dissatisfaction.

Joko Beck’s books are a good entry.
