Your suffering needn't be endless. I don't normally say this especially
on the internet, but God does love you and he only wants the best for
you. He doesn't judge or condemn people will they live but he will try
to convict us to rise higher.

I don't know if your religious or not, but I am, and being truly
religious means putting away worries and doing your best at living an
abundant life of freedom and happiness.

A good lesson I found was in this

But I suggest watching most of it,

I say this because, you seem to be worrying too much. that isn't healthy
whether you believe in religion or not.

I used to live ln constant worry even as a Christian, but I had a false
idea of religion and reason as well as certain people in the world.

If you have no religious background and this annoys you, at least
understand I am just trying to help.

I once thought about doing myself in too. But I realize now that, it
would have hurt many, many people in my life.

As Bill said though, reason is important, but I will also add, God wants
us to have reason as well.

Anyways, seek help if needed, I hate to hear people suffer especially
those who are good inside.

I am not too fond of fiction books myself nowadays although my reasons
were that there was so much treachery between relationships of romance...
