I know you don't mean to feel this way or to not be there for your family!
I am glad you checked in and got some help.
Are you okay?
Getting help and talking to us and venting and processing like you are doing is very responsible and UNSELFISH.

Thank you. I appreciate your supportive response. It is kind.
Unfortunately, my mindset isn't any better now than it was before entering the ER. I still wish that I could escape the misery that has followed me throughout life. Not real positive.
The group of professionals on "my case" are now recommending that I go into a halfway house, for longer term care of mental illness. They forsee my placement to be for 30-90 days.
Very scary for me! I really don't want to go, but I don't feel that i have much choice in the decision.
Mayo Clinic doesn't have a wing, or whatever, for longer-term care of serious mental disorders.
The place does have 6 bedrooms ~ 4 are single bedrooms. So, not a lot of people to deal with. Maybe that will make it easier. I always have a hard time when I'm in the hospital, and see people coming in and going home a few days later! In the meantime, my perspective hasn't changed.
Thanks for reading the novel....
