Answer 1

I'm partially disabled with epilepsy. As a consequence I've had nine operations have been on numerous medications. The epilepsy's under control now but it's taken the best part of thirty years to achieve it. In your case, if whatever-it-is is the 'only' way to happiness, the answer is to soldier on. Perhaps take a rest from things now and then but stay focused on what you want to achieve - it gives life a purpose. Feel free to contact me if you want to chat about this. All the best.

Answer 2

No one knows what the future holds, no one can predict what obstacles they will face or how long their road will be. If the person feels it is impossible to carry on, it is not right to will-fully take your own life but if it is God's will the soul will let them go. I believe we are not given more than we can handle even when it is really hard and you can't see what's ahead. Hope and faith keep you going. If you just can't go any further, you let go and let God.

Answer 3

Life is one long journey with many obstacles to cross. You just cant give up with the first one because the remainder of time is love and happiness

Answer 4

what makes me happy is an ever changing thing.
When I was small, my family was very poor, but I was happy playing with my few friends in the forest. Building forts out of falling limbs and pine straw. Those were the happiest days of my life. Later as I grew older, I found computers games to be very amusing and that made me happy. Then as I grew older I became obsessed with finding exploits and hacking on the fledgling internet and BBS systems. That made me happy. I then went into the Army to get away from my drugs. The quality of life dropped incredibly. I spent two weeks out of every month it seemed sleeping on the ground in the woods. I miss that. I loved being in the forest. Still, sleeping on a warm bed and having a cool beer after a long exercise, that made me happy. I then met my wife and she made me very happy. I went to war and all I could do was think of her. I missed her very much. When I got back to her, she made me happy again. That is still what currently makes me happiest. True happiness changes as we grow older. Do not set distant goals for it, as who knows who you will be when you get there.

Muslims have a phrase in Quran but i'm not familiar with the translation . anyway the meaning of that phrase in English : " God doesn't give a task to a self only what it has the capacity for "
this means that we are not entitled in the first place to do what we physically or mentally unable to do . we can make efforts but we don't have to go to the extreme.

Answer 6

Stop struggling against the current and surrender yourself to its direction. As my surfing instructor told me once, no one gains mastery over the waves by trying to ride against them.

The other thing is, if your supposed route of access to happiness is bringing you nothing but unrelenting suffering, maybe you are going down the wrong path and you need to get a new map or change your direction.
