I found getting my PPL to be far more of a journey than I ever expected. I have previously done university study etc etc but nothing prepared me for the ups and downs (pardon the pun
) of learning to fly. There were many, many times when I felt I would never get there (flying skills and ground exams) but I stuck at it and my shiny new licence arrived last week.
It WILL get better, and when you get your licence you will feel such a sense of accomplishment because you will know EXACTLY how hard you had to work to get it. Don't give up we have all been there. Good luck and keep us posted!
