The Lonely God

Is it really a good life when you live as long as the Doctor?
He sees a lot, meets many people and there are always his companions but nobody can say if he is really happy deep inside. The Doctor had to kill his own race to end a war and I don't know how a person can live with that and still keep going.
He normally has companions but they either leave him at some point or he leaves them behind or they die because of him. How can you go on when all this blood is on your hands?
I know he has helped a lot of people but that's probably not enough to calm his conciousness and he can always remember everything. You could see some of the effects in the episode "Let's kill Hitler" when the Tardis showed different people as its interface. He feels guilty because of what happened to most of the people he met and I really don't know how he can stand it.
Yes, I know the Doctor is only fiction but if he would be real could he live with all the things he has done, the things he will do and the people he has hurt?
