Happiness != good emotions.

If you’re seeking for good emotions to feel happiness you’re not any different from a junkie.

Modern culture promotes this false idea that happiness == good emotions. Because it sells.

The secret is not to buy into this myth. Whether by yourself or with help of psychiatrists depending on how deep is the problem.

If it's not happiness == good emotions then what does equal good emotions?
Emotions are just emotions.

They are important information signals to survive, and they add flavour and colors to our life.
