I believe the answer is: Exhaustion

In psychology, exhaustion refers to a part of stress coping mechanism where the psychological pressure from the stress start to negatively affect our bodily function. This is a very crucial part of the mechanism. If the person fail to pass this stage, the exhaustion could drive the person to ended their life.
