Posting this here so other's like yourself can read it in the future if they search - more than happy to trade some PM's with you personally if you want.
Primary isn't necessarily supposed to be fun. Sure, you can have fun and some people do, but depending on your natural God given abilities, motivations and work habits it can be less than enjoyable. I had a great time in flight school but I had somewhat of a fatalist outlook on it. I was 100% certain that at some point I would suck at something and they would attrite me - that made enjoying each flight a lot easier when I was pretty sure that I was on borrowed time.
Also, realize that FAMs aren't necessarily the best of times either. Sure, you're learning how to fly and for some people that is enough, but for others the constant criticism and feeling of being overwhelmed are not comfortable. Unfortunately the constant criticism and frequent feeling of being in over your head won't go away. There's always going to be something. The difference is that as you continue on in your training and in your career you'll have more experience to draw on to give you the confidence to deal with those situations.
PM if you'd like to chat further.
