I won't give up on them more I've learned in recent times to put Everton in its rightful place in my life, which means I don't treat it as a priority over other far more important things and accept that I have no control over what happens.
I'll admit I have tuned out of the matches, in terms of watching them at GP or on TV. By and large I keep up during matchday itself, but for a long time, I can't bear to watch them live. They offer nothing in the form of entertainment and its mostly one disappointment after another. That used to be crushing, but you actually get used to being let down, and you come to accept it.
That makes for sad reading. I'm not depressive about Everton's state but I am aware that some may be. I'm more sentimental and melancholy. If the dreaded relegation does come to pass, I'm not sure how I'll react.
