Sorry... either stop demanding your rights and do what they want or accept your about to be fired. They hold all the cards and discrimination "protection" is a joke.

I hate to say it, but I agree.
I had the exact same thing happen to me at my last job.
Human Resources doesn't give a crap about you, they are there to make things easier for the company. And, once they have classified you as a problematic employee, you can't do ANYTHING to please them.
I would make one tiny little error on a report (like typing "the" instead of "a"), and I would get a "final warning" disciplinary notice. But my co-worker would type one patient's report into another patient's chart by mistake (a seriously big deal!), and my boss would laugh and say that she must have been tired that day. WTF?!
Everything I did was scrutinized so that they had a paper trail. Since they can't fire you for your mental illness or disability, they have to make sure that you look incompetent (which they can fire you for).
You can't win, sweetie. Sitting back and being passive doesn't work, and fighting for your rights doesn't work. It's a lose-lose any way you look at it.
