Hi! I am looking for a large-scale database with repeated measurements of well-being (the more measurements the better) that I might use to calculate some analyses. It can be any concept related to well-being, e.g., happiness, satisfaction with life or any other life domain, postiive emotions, etc. Any suggestions are much appreciated. Thank you!
You might use the SOEP - see http://www.diw.de/ma/en/urahmann
I think you could try to look up the Eurostat databases, for instance here:

Good luck :)
There are so many! The SOEP recommended above is great for individual panel data, but you need to apply for access. Eurostat data is great for cross-country analysis, but generally available only at the country level. The European Social Survey, European Values Survey and World Values Survey also provide excellent well-being data at the micro level and are easily accessible.
you can find something in the longitudinal EU-SILC data. http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/microdata/european-union-statistics-on-income-and-living-conditions
However, life-satisfaction is available only for one year--as far as I remember, while others may appear in multiple waves--frequency of meeting friends if I remember well.
You have to apply to these data, and I believe the usage comes at a monetary cost too.
