First off unless your Boss has and "MD" after his name he has no right to consider a diagnosis.. That kinda stuff just annoys the hell out of me.
I think you need to see a Pdoc and get in with a Therapist as soon as possible. Only a Pdoc can diagnose you and begin a treatment plan that can settle your life down. Some people with Bipolar (myself) just cant take a AD with out it flipping us into Mania. It's pretty common.
I hope that the union can help you resolve your problems at your job and make your re entry smoothly.
Meanwhile start working on learning coping skills to help you manage your moods. Meditation, Mindfulness, Breathing exercises, Cardio exercises.
