It sounds like you have probably been at your job for awhile, hopefully at least a year? Please look in to FMLA and/or short-term disability. It is there to help you.
it sounds like you might benefit (a lot) from taking a break short-term, and can take it from there after having time to step-back for a minute. Maybe a medication adjustment may help, maybe seeing providers or someone new may help, maybe just having some time off will help.
Don't quit the job though. You may be right that a remote job may end up being best for you, but right now probably isn't the time to make any big decisions.
When do you see your healthcare team next?
How are/have things like sleep, nutrition, hygiene, etc been going?

This is my second year at my job. I've already taken off several days this year. I did FMLA last year for a hospitalization. I don't think I can take off any more days without consequences.
I see a psychologist and pdoc on January 2nd. My sleep has been interrupted and varies from 3 hours to 12 hours. I've been eating and taking care of hygiene.
