    Yes, to some extent.

    Although Dostoyevsky can be extremely painful to read, so maybe he exaggerates the suffering aspect.

    In fact, he doesn't. By suffering he means not only his personal suffering (physical and moral), the suffering of his people and all of humanity. Moreover he claims that a person must always be in a state of suffering not to mention that he had a "fear of knowledge" thinking it might kill faith, the knowledge.
