This is ofcourse no reflection on you, I'm just particularly critical of myself.
I am so sorry for your situation. Dealing with MI is hard enough, but to have to deal with it along with work pressures must be overwhelming.

Do you have a Human Resources department where you work? If so, think about talking to someone there and find out what your options are. You don't have to make any decisions yet. But knowing you have some choices might alleviate some of the stress and anxiety you are feeling that is most likely compounding things.

Hang in there, Ceara1010
