Miserable 8.5 month baby

Feeling so down. My baby is so often miserable and it’s even harder comparing him to my very happy babies of friends. Doesn’t cry that much but is usually moaning and just generally unhappy. No allergies and sleep is ok. I held hope that once he crawled and was mobile he’d be better, but nope. Crawling and still miserable. I try to be positive, but I’m running out of steam. Felt tearful last few days which is unlike me but it’s been going on for so long, it makes me feel like such a rubbish mum. I just need advice to keep me going?
