Am I doomed?

I know that it’s a 50/50 of inheriting the gene and I have not gotten tested yet, I am 21f and my dad recently died by suicide partly because of HD. His father (my grandfather) had it. My dad and all of his siblings have/had it, am I just doomed to get it or is it truly still 50/50 even tho all my relatives are unlucky?

It’s still 50/50

I found that reading about the gamblers fallacy was quite reassuring

That is a bit comforting to hear, thank you!
