It feels like the amount of struggle is, somewhat, constant. But time seems to go by faster and faster, so there is less and less time to handle said struggle.
Rejection.
Life itself doesn't get easier until you learn how to make boundaries and life the way you really are. Ask anyone that has "come out" as gay, trans, or autistic. It sucks at first but life gets better once you learn who you are and stop being sorry for it.
What does not get easier to handle in life? A life worth living.
