59%, 88%, 125%... what do they have in common? All 3 are unattainable at this point. Sorry.

All okay! I'm the one who's sorry for you. Stay as strong as can be expected - given your circumstances:

++++++++++++

More than 400,000 Irish people experience depression at any one time (approx 1 in 10 of the population).

The total number of officially recorded suicides in 2007 was 463. It is widely accepted that the real figure may be as high as 600 deaths per year – the difference is due to the number of possible suicides which are recorded as open verdicts or accidental deaths by the Coroner’s Court.

The ratio of male deaths by suicide to female is approx 3:1.

Experts suggest that approx 80% of suicides can be traced back to depression.

Alcohol, loss and depression are considered to be the three main factors which, when combined, can lead to suicide.

1 in 3 of us will be affected by depression at some point in our lives – either directly, or as a family member.

For every one person who experiences the illness directly, as many as five others will be impacted upon (this especially applies to family members, but also includes friends etc).
