Breaking point

A breaking point was a metaphorical term describing a moment of extreme stress or pressure where a person's coping mechanisms failed, leading to a breakdown or a critical situation.

In 2365, Dr. Katherine Pulaski said to Deanna Troi, "I don't know how long anyone could take this kind of anxiety state. There has to be a breaking point." (TNG: "Time Squared")
