Life may seem grim to you now, simplywhy, but it was not always this way & neither will it end this way for a child of God. The hell in this life is the only hell Christians will ever know, I've been told.
Suffering is a sign that God is refining our character (Isaiah 48:10, Romans 5:4, 1 Peter 1:6,7, etc.). Your denomination's teachings have much to say in this regard. There is someone in your church that can help you with this.
Fellow Christians can offer you comfort and support, but they can't eliminate your suffering, nor should you wish this. At least your anger is still directed at God. Keeping the conversation going, even if it disrespectful and/or angry is still Biblical.
Consider the Psalms (6, 13, 22 (I've recited many profanity-laced versions of that one, let me tell you), 88), Lamentations 3, Job, etc. Jesus is our High Priest and our God. He can take your anger. You may find that releasing all your anger and your pain to be therapeutic.
I know from my own experience that there are times that I must vent my anger towards Jesus, even if it is unjustified so that I can see my anger for what it is & return humbly before God in prayer. Some of my most profound prayer moments have come after I have unleashed my fury on the Lamb of God. Sometimes that it is what it takes to see ourselves for what we really are, I believe.
May you find God's strength and infinite love in your brokenness. May you find God!
