Remember that you are not the only one who feels like this. Hang in there, I know it’s not easy. I’m pulling for you.

I had luck finding a therapist covered by my insurance via this service: https://www.joinuplift.com. My therapist is not perfect but just talking to someone on a regular basis has had a noticeable impact. Especially when I was feeling very unsupported by my spouse. It got me from one week to the next.
I've also heard of people having similar benefits from one of the online apps like Better Help. They are pricier and often not covered by insurance but if you are really struggle, it could just be a place to start.
You might also think outside the box and just try to do something over the next few days that would make you feel good -- a massage, flotation therapy, a yoga class, etc. It won't cure you but just doing something for yourself, especially something that addresses the mind-body connection, can give you that emotional release you definitely need.
Good luck to you. I'll be thinking about you. Please come back and let us know how it's going soon, even if it's no better or has gotten worse. You are not alone.
OP here. Your last lines made me cry, but in a good way. Thank you. I will, I will try.

OP here. I absolutely will not go to the hospital because of this. There’s a service in the hospital complex that I am considering, but it’s not the ER. But I’m even scared of that, even though someone I trust told me about it.

As a healthcare provider I have very mixed feelings about this. We have screening questions for everyone that gets admitted to the hospital and some are mental health questions. I've had many patients trigger the red flag for suicidal ideation and not realize the consequences of it. Its a really shitty system. If you don't follow the rules when a patient gets flagged and then they leave and kill themselves, huge legal issue. But sometimes people need help but all the stuff that comes with the help can make the situation worse. I really don't know what the answer is. The whole system needs to be done over. There arent enough resources available.

I want mine to read "I TOLD you I didn't feel good."
Sorry you're struggling, OP.

I’m so sorry OP.
Does your workplace have any sort of service? I know you may need more immediate help but I reached out last week and have an appointment scheduled for two weeks from now. AGAIN, not good for urgent crisis situations but many employers even have a line you can call. They do all the work to connect you with what you need.

When it takes months to get in to see your PCP
When therapists have waiting lists
When your husband knows you are struggling but ‘has’ to work a full day even when you are having suicidal thoughts, and ‘needs’ to attend a training meeting from the home office that same evening
When the doctors you actually can see don’t do jack for you
When
You
Did
Ask
For
Help
And were failed or diminished, time and again. It just makes it worse.
