Hello.

Let's say that you have enough of a situation.

Can you express this by using the phrase 'OVER THE TOP'?

I mean: the level of stress has gone over the top or sth like that.

Please: before suggesting and alternative, tell me if you

can think of an acceptable sentence containing the phrase above.

Thank you.

I see. It's meant for performances or things like that.

What about: 'The stress level has crossed the threshold'?

Thank you
