The answer

It is not permissible for a person to curse time (ad-dahr) if he is distressed by life, due to the Prophet's ﷺ saying, as he narrates from his Lord: "The son of Adam wrongs Me; he curses time, and I am time; in My hand is the matter; I alternate night and day." And his saying: "Do not curse time, for Allah is time," meaning, the Disposer of time. A person must be patient during tribulation, and he must know that there is no calamity but that there is a greater one in this world, which makes his own calamity seem lighter.
