The image of a breakdown is a metaphor. It can refer to the intangible aspects which are going to have a breakdown. A relationship could be facing trouble and heading for a split.
If the breakdown hints at being related to your job, then you have to take steps to prepare. You can make repairs, or other arrangements, to manage work related problems.
If the breakdown is referring to a personal relationship, then reflect on what you would do to address this concern.
