I have an answer, but I don't think you want to hear it.
To put it one way.... one of my favourite deliberate quote-mutations is this:
"If at first you don't succeed, you're probably doing it wrong...... wanker."
By that, I effectively mean that if you keep messing up, you're better off trying something else rather than repeating the process which led to your failure in the first place.
In other words... if you cannot move forward in life, then accept that you cannot move forward and try moving sideways instead.
You can control your life in some ways.... but usually not the events so much. What really makes a difference is not just WHAT happens to you but HOW you perceive it. If you can put aside trying to make life conform to your ideals... and rather learn to shape your ideals around the life you have.... you will become a much more contented person.
When someone stabs you... there is little purpose in lamenting your lost blood and the misery of the pain; better to appreciate the beauty of the blade in your gut and laugh at the irony of your now inaccessable dreams as your life gracefully floats away. Learn to put aside the notions of good and evil, and love the world for its elegance... no matter which way it goes... There is beauty to be found in even the most horrific of things.... if only you can teach yourself to see it that way..... and then nothing can ever truly harm you again.

Many of us realize that this place -- universe/world -- is a battleground. It's what motivates many to undertake spiritual mind training to investigate and experience for oneself the same thing that those who have had enlightenment experience. Because those who do get an experience that all of this stuff is illusory and that the psychological/physical self (which is the root of all problems) is unreal. Some of the paths that can lead you there: Zen, A Course in Miracles. Also, there have been those who used christianity to do so -- look at Meister Eckhart, st John of the Cross.

Yes.I am very angry with my life of 70 years.There is NO GOD-it is only a manipulation by vested interests.Me and my wife were praying God for almost 50 to 60 years--My wife was observing strict Fast( she would not take even water for the whole day We say "Vratham" in Hinduism) for almot 40 years on a particular day(we call Pradosham-13 th day from New-Moon or Full Moon day)My wife was a devout devotee of unshakable faith in Lord Shiva.My daughter and son would do prayers of Lord Vishnu for 6 hours daily,continuously without food or water for 14 years.The GOD -STABBED all of us at our back by killing our young(43 year old) son-in law in Brain Cancer(leaving his young wife and two small kids(9 &5).GOD-Religion-Saints is all a FRAUD created by vested interests

Yes you right with what you are describing, because it is mentioned in the Holly Quran that those who deviate away from Quran will have a hard live i.e psychlogicaly , and has been described like some body going up in the universe/ sky where his chest becomes very tight (like asthmatics).

I don't have the answers but I know from my my life that if I didn't have God I would not be able to fight. I can't do this life on my own strength, it's too much.
