The feeling is mutual.

Which population? Is this world wide or a certain country specific statistic? Does the time of year matter? I mean if you compare the US nation average with say, Haiti you have a 30 fold reduction in suicide! So a 10x increase isnt really that much in comparison. Of course if your talking about Las Vegas (highest suicide rate in the US) during the Christmas season (highest number of suicides) then it becomes a different story.

The US general population. I don't know the data for specific regions, or other countries. AFAIR, annual suicide mortality rates were used, but I could be wrong - I don't remember the exact data basis for every study I read. if you're genuinely interested (which I doubt), I can try to dig up the study so you can check for yourself.

I would be interested to see the numbers, although it is a kind of "well no fucking shit" claim anyway.
As I am bipolar, I have absolutely no problem believing that it increases the likelihood of suicide so much. To me, that's like saying, "Did you know being suicidal make you more likely to commit suicide!?"

Yes, I'm sorry about that. I freely admit that I didn't think you actually were bipolar. In my experience, threads making light of mental illnesses are often made by people who neither have that disease, nor any actual knowledge about it (which really p*sses me off btw), so I assumed that was the case here, too. Having read your answers here, it appears I was wrong in my assumption. I apologize.
I'll try to dig up the study, it wasn't too long ago that I read it, so chances are good I'll actually find it :)

I'm bipolar too, but I don't use my disorder as an excuse to make retarded threads nobody cares about.

It's ok though. Being bipolar it's easy to be condescending. (See nearly every one of my replies in this thread.)
Just know that even if you're down now, you're still an awesome person. Just suffering through till you can make it to the next time you're capable of letting all your awesome out.

I hate you all. Every single one of you.
At the moment.
I'll love you all again later, though. Probably.
