no. It’s rather more of a paradox, assuming its true. Honestly, the two clauses don’t appear to directly contradict each other, at least not without a more a context to frame them in.

I gave up on myself = I surrender or quit.
I didn’t quit = I didn’t give up.
Yeah, oxymoron to me.

What are you referring to when you say “but I didn’t quit”? You gave up on yourself, but I didn’t quit what? bathing, eating, reading, etc.? If referring to the first proposition then it just cancels it out. It’s basically two negatives, and two negatives make a positive. So, what you’re actually saying is that you DIDN’T quit giving up on yourself.

I think probably not as well as there aren’t two contradictory terms.
