Five overarching themes were developed, which were: (1) Recognising impact on others; (2) Interpersonal relationships; (3) Doing something different; (4) Leaving no room for suicide; and (5) Sense of self. Findings from this paper indicate that exits from suicidal states are accessible and important for the theoretical understanding of preventing suicide. Moments of transition out of suicidal states can be forgotten, therefore memory-based interventions may be helpful in recognising recovery factors and processes.
