I have had a number of disappointments , 'When is it ok to give up, stop trying and just give up?
It is different for every person and every situation you are in. Seth Godin has a nice book about giving up called "The Dip". It is a bit marketing oriented but maybe you could find an advice there that will work for you.
It's never ok. Don't give up or give in for that matter. Be realistic about your goals that your not meeting causing these disappointments. You may need to reevaluate or modify your goal. Try looking at the smaller steps individually rather than the whole big picture. Success is easier to measure one step at a time. Best of luck to you.
A wise man man once said " Fall down 7 times, but get up 8" Never give up.
