I think that this forum was developed to deal with this kind of thing. So though not a crisis service ... it is the purpose and reason a lot of us are drawn to read and post on this site.
Personally when I am down I can be pretty convincing to myself that it is the most realistic solution ... now I am beginning to realise that even if I can find lots of so-called reasons ... just the thought I am thinking that way is worth challenging.
Good Luck with your appointment
... with a few good distractions sometimes we get a little shift in the feeling and start to be able to focus on our day.

No need to apologise! I think it's a really productive conversation to have.
How are you today? Did you find any of the suggestions helpful?

@Crazy_Bug_Lady it is really good that you have a plan and someone you can trust. I am wondering if you have someone to talk to outside of business hours?
