I know I've seen these statistics before. It might have been in the DSM 5. It was a list of different mental illnesses and the rate of suicide for each. Then it listed the suicide rates for people with specific combinations of conditions (which were significantly higher than those with just one).

Does anyone know where to find this info? I'll do more searching for it tonight. I have a copy of the DSM 5 I can look through.

I looked through the DSM 5 and found the following info (there might be more that I missed). Not quite was I was looking for, but it's interesting nonetheless.
DiagnosisSuicide Attempt RiskSuicide Success Risk
Schizophrenia20%5-6%
Bipolar I Disorder36%"at least 15 times that of the general population"
Bipolar II Disorder32%not specified
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder"up to one-quarter of individuals with OCD"not specified
Dissociative Identity Disorder70%not specified

I also found this information from the Maine DHHS. "SMR" is basically how much higher the suicide rate is compared to the general population (e.g. those with Major Depression are 20 times more likely to die from suicide than the average person).

I also have multiple diagnoses, which is why I was specifically interested in finding studies that give rates for specific combinations.

I pretty much have all of those. It's shocking. I'm surprised autism isn't there.

That would be interesting to know. I was also wondering if ADHD has a higher suicide rate than average.

I always had the thoughts, but when I found out I was on the spectrum, in my early 20s, the thoughts intensified. I gave up on life at that point.
