At The End Of One’S Rope

The idiom "at the end of one's rope" means to be in a situation where you have no more patience, energy, or resources left to deal with a problem or difficult situation. It is a way of expressing that you are completely exhausted and cannot cope with the situation any longer.

For example, if someone has been trying to solve a problem for a long time and has exhausted all possible solutions, they might say "I'm at the end of my rope, I don't know what else to do." Or if someone is dealing with a difficult person who is constantly causing problems, they might say "I'm at the end of my rope with this person, I can't deal with them anymore."

This idiom is often used in situations where someone has been trying to solve a problem or deal with a difficult situation for a long time, and they have reached a point where they feel completely overwhelmed and unable to continue. It can also be used to express frustration or exhaustion in general, not just in relation to a specific problem or situation.
