InDesign keeps quitting on me.

I'm running InDesign 19.0.1 on my iMac... OS 13.6.1. As of today, it lets me open my file, but then when I try to do anything... it just quits. I've deleted the preferences. I uninstalled the program and re-installed it using Adobe Cloud. I restarted my computer. I've run out of ideas. What else can I do? Thanks! 

Update: I am now pretty sure this in only happening with one specific file. Other files I've tested aren't crashing. So... is there a way to save this one file? I did try saving it under a different name, but the issue keeps happening.

This suggests that there may be corruption in the file. You may be able to recover it if you try saving it as an IDML file. Choose File > Save > InDesign CS4 or Later [IDML]. Then open the IDML file in InDesign. This can recover some kinds of file corruption.

InDesign 19 is a very poor update. I would stick to 18.5 until several cycles of bug fixes are behind us...
