Our Breaking Point: How COVID Has Us Exhausted, Irritable, and Overwhelmed
A powerful manifesto on COVID-19, what we’ve collectively overcome, and where we, as a society, will go from here.
2020 marked a sudden and dramatic change in all of our lives. Few events have affected the entire global population in the same way as this pandemic that wreaked havoc on our livelihoods, relationships, and general well-being. Not one of us was prepared, but as we come to terms with our ‘new normal’, we can start to process the shocking events that have happened to us in the last couple of years.
In Our Breaking Point, Treena Wynes takes us into the heart of the global pandemic to examine the ways COVID-19 has been burning us out. Even those who aren’t healthcare workers, health policy-makers or homeschooling parents have been touched by the virus. Being socially isolated while simultaneously bombarded with constant, alarming news and negative information has amplified our stress in a way never seen before. Jobs were lost, relationships failed, and many of us got sick or had loved ones pass away. Our internal, mental exhaustion, though, extends in ways that are much less obvious and more lasting.

The truth is I enjoyed very little of my life growing up.
That’s why I turned to drinking. To drown out the pain and loneliness.
But I had no idea what was in store when I wound up at Angel’s Haven for court-appointed rehab after almost killing myself in a car accident. I was told I shouldn’t have survived.
Maybe if I’d known what was coming I wouldn’t have felt so lost, so out-of-touch with my world, for so long. Maybe if I’d known who I was I could have prepared. I never knew such dark creatures existed, or that they were hunting me, but now I know the power coming after me and running was my only option for survival.

I’m probably the last person to read a diet book as I’ve never been on a diet. But Eating Myself Crazy is much more than that… It’s an honest exploration of the warped relationship we often have with food and the harm it does to our health, personal relationships and mental well-being. It’s full of good tips, even for a non-dieter like me!
