This 'someone' wouldn't happen to be you would it?

This may be hard for some to swallow but we choose our earthly body and the framework of our earthly lives BEFORE we incarnate.
So you chose to be you.

Every earthly life will have its measure of pain and suffering, to a greater or lesser extent.

If you are suffering now, I say two things:
1) Maybe it is settling of past karma? In which case you are clearing it, which is good.
2) The greatest of souls have suffered, often terribly, but they came through the mill and emerged the other side with dignity, nobility, love and forgiveness. And that's what made them great souls!
Pain and suffering are never pleasant to live through, but when faced rightly, 'you' emerge from them BLESSED with compassion, empathy and understanding. And if you have also used your time prudently and acquired wisdom, you can make wonderful use of those qualities in your day to day life.

Life is full of trials and tribulations, its meant to be, that's how we learn and grow.
So stand your ground, dear soul. Stand your ground.

(If one took their own life and thereby 'dodged' something they were meant to learn and experience, they would only have to come back and live through it again.)
