Yes, I agree. Some people are meant to suffer and I believe I'm one of them. After my father killed himself a few years ago I realized that people like me are likely genetically predisposed to see and feel the darker side of life and it has a way of compounding and reinforcing itself especially as you get older and your time and opportunities narrow. I'm not convinced that you can really end the suffering but you can minimize it and live with the pain if you try. It helps to have something to live for so always have someone or something to take care of and you will find the strength to fight. It also helps to collaborate and build relationships/friendships/support networks and even forums like this (thanks psychcentral!).

You could say you're damned if you let it ruin your life. But don't be so deterministic if you want to fight and change what's going on in your head. Every moment is a gift and you only lose this fight if you give up.
