I was sacrificing my life for it and I realized nothing would change but I was hurting myself.

Yeah, part of acknowledging that it will take a long time is making sure your efforts are sustainable. Working as part of an organisation - even a small one - lets you share the work around and take breaks.

If you sign up for the APAN newsletter they'll let you know when there's campaigns on where you can take action. They have a list of stuff you can do here: https://apan.org.au/take-action/

The BDS Australia site also has targeted actions you can take: https://bdsaustralia.net.au/

There's nothing like local organising, though, if you can get involved that way. While regional organisations are going to be smaller, I think they can have an outsize impact. The difference between there being nothing going on in your area and something is huge.
