You will continue to earn your salary during the remaining time (however long that is) at this company.
Don't talk about unemployment or being "unable" to perform your job to anyone else in the company from now on and let the chips fall where they may. Starting today, you do need to apply to multiple places so you can also have the option to exit with a normal notice in case you are hired for a new position.
Above all, do NOT agree to go through 3 and 4 rounds of interviews with presentations and teams of people involved in the interview process. You will no longer be interviewing for that type of high level job. If the process does not involve more than 2 interviews, go for it. More than that, refuse. And try to apply in larger companies this time.

Thanks @
Molinit. I greatly appreciate your support and advice.
So, right now, I don't care if they fire me, and would actually welcome it. If I cannot meet their expectations, then I will qualify for unemployment. Sure, I may feel a bit of a negative twinge about being fired, but I want to leave so badly, that it doesn't matter to me how it happens.
Today I thought about contacting my doctor about taking a second, but shorter leave of absence from work. It would be unpaid, but I am paid well enough to cover the difference. I just don't know. I feel a bit tied at the hands; unable to make a decision or move in any direction.
I will continue to apply for other jobs, though I am not quite ready to put on a big smiling face during interviews. If there is a presentation or test involved, forget it. If there's more than a few interviews, that's OK with me as long as I don't have to do work for the company before being hired.
