Being at Your Wits End
When you are at your wits end, you have tried everything and don't know what to do. It's a point of extreme frustration and confusion. Being at your wits end means you have exhausted all options and can't find a solution to a problem or difficulty. It's like feeling stuck, running in circles with no clear way out. This can happen, for example, when you have financial problems and have approached various sources for help, but none have been able to assist you.
