5. Stress decrement: In this sub-category, some participants
expressed that they attempted suicide because they were
suffering from enormous stress, and now that the stressors
have been eliminated, they no longer have suicidal ideation.
They resolved or reduced their stress in some cases by changing
jobs, or by sharing their financial difficulties with an advisor.
One family member explained:
P15: My father died when I was a child. My mother had a lot of
financial difficulties so we lived in a stressful environment. Now,
my younger sister and I have grown up so we have part-time jobs
to make some money. Lack of financial stress helps my mother
and she has no thoughts of suicide now.
