when does it get better?

Oh bugger. Is there a local playgroup or anything else? Maybe your CHN might know of other options in the area? Could you ask the mums to come to you to meet?
Is paid help feasible? Cleaner/nanny/au pair/something.... What about weekends, can you call in reinforcements then, at least?

I've only ever had 1 "easy" baby so I hear ya. My last was by far the worst, he was so cranky! He cheered up around 3 months.

Where are you located? Maybe someone off here is local to you and can help
