Buffy,
I'm so sorry the crisis counselor berated you - and more than once! You can try alternative crisis hotlines if you find yourself in need of support. If you do a google search on crisis hotlines nationally, within your country, or locally, you might find alternative crisis lines to call. If you're in the U.S., there's also the 311 or 211 numbers you can call, depending on your jurisdiction, to ask about a local hotline or crisis line in your area. They may have mental health support for Covid-19 crises, but if it's open to the public for whatever reasons during this pandemic, you can try giving those hotlines a ring.
Hang in there. Don't give up, no matter what attitudes you get from society or those you know. So sorry you experienced that from a hotline!
