There is very little support for someone in my situation here. I have had stable employment, little relational conflict over the years, kids who turned out healthy and happy, never attempted sui or self-harmed. Now I'm a basket case, ready to off myself.
Feel so alienated. No where to go for support. My T said call crisis lines. Yeah, lot's to grieve.

I definitely understand being a basket case and the alienation. I fell apart after my late husband died 18 years ago. I tried different therapists for years. With the last one, I called crisis lines when my T wasn't available -- I just did it, turned out she didn't even know what was available in our state. The ones here were usually very helpful. But I feared/expected they might cut me off if I called too much or send a crisis unit to my house, so I was careful about how often I called.
That's not a long-term solution, though. But I also found social support here and in some in person support groups.
I am very sorry that your T abandoned and hurt you. It really sucks.
