breaking point

When can one say that a person has reached her “breaking point”?

…When she starts to complain about the most insignificant of things

…When her default response to anything is antagonism

…When she’s taken over by lethargy

…When she finds herself often staring blankly into space

… When her legs seem to be dragging a 10 pound weight

… When nothing is of great important and everything is a nuisance

When is my “breaking point”?

… When there are less smiles on my face and laughter in my voice

… When I become disinterested and irritable

… When whining becomes second nature

… When sarcasm becomes my native tongue

… When I can’t look a person in the face

… When silence becomes my friend

    Hmmm… Is this my biodata? I think its is with minor changes.

    1.Replace all “she” with “he”;”her” to “him”

    2. My legs are dragging 50lb weights rather than 10.

    I can relate. Or rather, i “related.” :) Maybe add: when trying to be excited about something just leaves you more tired from the sheer effort of it.
    But, we go on.. we push forward. This’ll soon pass……… (cross fingers)
