BPD and Suicide Attempt Poll

I am closing the BPD and suicide attempts poll. The results were quite interesting. The last poll I ran was BPD and substance abuse. The basic results of the suicide poll were Yes 66%, No 25% and Don’t Know 9%. However, if I remove the “Don’t Know” group, the results are Yes 73% and No 27%. It is interesting to me that the substance abuse poll was Yes 76% and No 24%. The majority of people with BPD having substance abuse problems and having attempted suicide makes me wonder… are they generally the same group? If so, I think it indicates that people with BPD (generally) will do anything to stop the pain.
