O son of Kunti, the nonpermanent appearance of happiness and distress, and their disappearance in due course, are like the appearance and disappearance of winter and summer seasons. They arise from sense perception, O scion of Bharata, and one must learn to tolerate them without being disturbed.
Still, sometimes the troubles may be overwhelming.
The only support we can have is the holy name of the Lord and the association of devotees.
The more we take the troubles in life as blessings in disguise they will push us towards the Lord and less we will suffer.
Problems are inevitable but whether we choose to suffer the misery or choose to seek shelter of God, we have to decide.
If we depend on Lord Krishna, we are assured of His promise in Bhagwad Gita:
After attaining Me, the great souls, who are yogis in devotion, never return to this temporary world, which is full of miseries, because they have attained the highest perfection.
