Suffering is any aversive (not necessarily unwanted) experience and the corresponding negative emotion. It is usually associated with pain and unhappiness, but any condition can be suffering if it is subjectively aversive. Antonyms include happiness or pleasure.
In a phrase like "suffering from a disease" emphasis is on having the disease, less on the unhappiness it causes.
Related terms are sadness, sorrow and grief. Some view anger as a type of suffering. Boredom, or ennui is the suffering from a lack of interesting things to experience or do (physically or intellectually), while not in the mood of "doing nothing".
