How do you pull yourself into happy?

[JennRN]

My title may sound weird but let me explain-I was just moved from the thriving fabulous city of Houston to West Virginia. It was for my husband's job, and because he makes a ridiculous amount of money, lost his job in Houston, and I can find a job wherever, we sort of had to go. This isn't a great economy, you know? We have moved cross country twice before this and usually after 6 months I am ok. However things here are different. There isn't a good mall to go to when sad. There are no good restaurants to go to when sad. There is no DG alum group to get involved with. No one I have met is "like me". I cry some, but based on "my pattern" hope that in a few months, things will be ok. My question is, short of meds, haha, how, in a similar situation, are you able to pull yourself out of sadness, into happy?
