Hi Matt!

I think 'stop struggling' (I assume that's what you meant, or else I have no 
idea what 'stuggling' is) is perhaps a paraphrase rather than a translation 
as such. However, it's certainly in the ballpark of the what the word means. 
It approximates the meaning of colloquial English's use of the word 'relax'. 
As an example, I quote Frankie Goes To Hollywood: 'Relax, don't do it when 
you want to go through it.' The meaning is to desist from something, 
demonstrated by a calm posture or attitude.
