I know what you mean about how things that you want can't be bought anymore. That has happened to me. I usually don't listen to much pop music but 'Shakira- poem to a horse' is a great song. I also like this poem today: http://www.poetsgraves.co.uk/Classic%20Poems/Thomas%20E/adlestrop.htm and google image Audrey Hepburn ;)
I watch movies, and if they're good enough, they inspire me to write. Recently, I saw Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind and it blew me a way. Watching something is kind of a hit and miss with some people though, so I don't know if it will work for you.
Hmm. I can suggest a relaxing exercise to get your mind back to a happier state and possibly help out. I give this advise to some of my other friends and it seems to work. I suggest taking a walk and while walking let your mind wander think about were you want to be or what you feel and let lose. then maybe write about what you thought about on the walk. I hope this helps you out.
