I'm a statistic

"Prior research has consistently found associations between psychiatric conditions (e.g., depression, bipolar disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder [PTSD], schizophrenia and alcohol and/or drug use disorders) and risk of fatal and non-fatal suicide attempts."

Mostly a duh kind of statement, but interesting that women with substance abuse problems are at a higher risk of suicide. I wonder if part of it is the mind altering or depressive qualities of alcohol and drugs.

I hate to think that I'm a statistic. Drunk, bipolar woman tries to commit suicide. I'm on a list somewhere as a statistic. Boo.
