The probability mumbo-jumbo only makes sense to you because you've attached a value to life, and so find it easy to believe that life having a small probability (which it doesn't; probability doesn't exist) makes it inherently valuable.
The solution to avoid an untimely suicide is to develop vitality; this is done by engaging in activities that are both challenging and rewarding. This results in an increased resilience to stress, as well as a greater appreciation for life. Another solution is to understand that the stress will likely pass; however, if you had vitality in the first place then this wouldn't be a problem, so this is a last resort.
If you want to be driven to suicide, then spend all your time engaged in efforts that are unrewarding (e.g., wageslaving, or anything else that you hate doing), or activities that provide reward without effort (e.g., browsing social media, drug-taking). You'll eventually grow so weak and hate life so much that any difficulties you face will overwhelm you, and drive you towards suicide.
What's the point of this reply? You seem rather inclined to want to correct people, instead of considering the validity of different viewpoints in life.
Just as you want others to hear your "solutions," which are impartial and case-to-case.
And while it's true that assigning value to life is a subjective process, it's not accurate to dismiss the concept of probability entirely. It's a fundamental aspect of various disciples, including mathematics and statistics, and while it may not determine/or place the value of life in itself, entirely dismissing it overlooks its role in providing context and bringing appreciation for the sheer wonder of life itself. And if probability was that insignificant, it wouldn't be used in every fucking area of human endeavor, spanning from science and economics to engineering, gambling, weather forecasting, and artificial intelligence
