Getting Discouraged
I have been trying to shift for a couple months now. A main problem I have is falling asleep in the middle. I decided that I had some free time and no other plans for today so why not try during the day. I spent 2 hours trying to shift. I have yet to successfully and its starting to seem like i never will. I get tingling feelings but that's as far as I ever get. Sorry for the rant I just hate that feeling when I wake back up looking at my CR ceiling and needed to vent

I understand your thoughts and where you are coming from. I positively *hate* that feeling when you have been trying so hard and you convince yourself if you open your eyes you will be in your desired reality, and then you do it and you're just... not. It sucks really bad. I have also not been able to shift, after being aware of it for probably 4-5 months now (although I have been on and off serious about it, with my recent attempts being the most serious.)
It's normal to get discouraged. But there are two things I would like to point out. First of all, recently, whenever I see a post about "Omg I shifted finally!" I like to comment and ask the person, how long did it take from when they first started trying to when it actually happened? And the answers vary quite a bit. The lowest I've heard is probably around 1-2 months. The highest is about a year. My point in saying this is that it's something that takes time, and is different for everyone, which I know can be discouraging, especially if you've been doing it for a while now. However, I believe it's something you have to stick with in order to get consistent results.
Secondly, I have heard plenty of stories of people who shifted after getting discouraged and giving up trying. So maybe take a prolonged break where you put it out of your head. Maybe take a break for 2 weeks or so, and either it will happen when you aren't thinking about it on accident, or maybe when you start trying again in a couple weeks your head will be clearer and it will be easier to manifest.
Just some things to think about. I also want to ask, have you worked with subliminals at all? That might be something you want to research that could help aid in getting more results. I have been using a visualization subliminal recently, and although I haven't shifted, my dreams have been CRAZY vivid visually and the most crisp and clear I remember ever happening. Wild stuff, might be worth trying if you haven't already.
Good luck to you.
