I personally think missing two nonsecuative days isn’t warranting of termination and that’s extreme but anyway... I told him it is a medical thing and what are my options.
He said I can ask for leave accommodation— basically I have to get a doctor to say because of a medical condition I’m allowed to miss X hours a month or something. That paperwork will take some time and until then I’m SOL if I am late or can’t make it. I can’t afford to lose this job. They’re not firing me but I am in tears. I can’t handle this very well right now.
Will having a mental illness be accomodatable? I’m not looking for anything insane.... just to be able to miss more than one day of work without being on thin ice. I don’t even know my psychiatrist well enough to even ask about it. I may just have to move back into a toxic household. I can’t afford to be without a job. I’m really upset.
Any experience with this? Am I lost cause? I just want to curl up in a ball and cry.

You are protected under the ADA. You can sue them for discrimination if they do not accomodate you. Get that letter today!!!
