I kinda know what you are going through. I have doing kendo for about three years now, but there was a point where i hated going to practice. It got boring and I was having a lot of health issues. But when I switched to another dojo and i worked through my health issues things were better, i enjoy it a lot more. Now im not saying that you should switched dojos, i think that you just need to hang in there the first few months in armor are different because you are now being attacked instead of your oppenet just standing and taking your hits. Its now about using what you learned before having armor and trying to apply it. If you get hit dont get angry, accept it and learn from it because you have just been shown a weakness in your kendo. thus you now have something to work on. Kendo to me is all about learning and improving, its like that quote (which i have no idea who its by) "if at first you dont succeed, try again." And just remember although it may look easy when watching other people make hits, that those people have been doing kendo for many years. Well I hope this helps, and just hang in there it should get easier as you practice more.
