Hi sending virtual hugs 😊
someone once said “ statistics are like a lamppost to a drunk , more useful for leaning on than illumination”.
I agree with what has been said above - you can treat statistics as a positive or a negative - I like to look at the positive - a 75 percent chance of survival is a good thing , I don’t turn it around and think of “ what if I am in the 25 percent”.
you can’t control the outcome , so just enjoy life.
However , if stuff is getting you down , by all means get professional help from a psychologist , I saw one briefly and her best advice was “ it’s ok to cry”.
So I don’t even apologise for random and / or inappropriate bouts of crying now.
