Why can't I be done? Why do I have to sacrifice peace? I just want it to be over. I just want to be done. I need to be done. I need to be free.

You can be free without being done. It takes work, yes ... but think of it like this:
Currently you are trapped in an adobe prison cell. You have already crafted yourself a blade from the stones lying around - but now you have to carve into the stone walls to get out. It's made even more complicated by the fact very little light filters in to the prison cell. The guards know of your efforts and they never try to stop you - until you come too close to breaking free, then they patch it up. You can always stop your attempts - but if you do, you will nevdf feel the sunlight on your face.
Your job is to figure out how to escape that cell without the guards finding out your progress in time. Then you can enjoy life.
Same is true of mental or emotional illness - it is a prison that attempts to keep you each time you get close to escape... but you can escape if you continue your efforts, and never give up.
