What accomodations are you asking for?

Thank you Micah and Rapunzel for the responses. I asked for an extra break to help breakup the work day to reduce stress and if an off the phones position becomes available (vacant) that I would be moved to an off the phones unit. The doctors know how stressful it is for me to work there because I already had one panic attack and was transported by ambulance. I wasn't able to breathe, dizzy, lightheaded, etc.
I know that if I do not get my accommodations I am going to feel like I am being individually targeted because it appears my employer has their "favorites" no matter how much past recognition I received for excellent performance. It appears I would have more luck having my primary care physician write up documentation of my asthma being affected when I feel too stressed and get an accommodation based on that rather than my BPD.
I would never resign from my job and they have already tried to put me on warning for requesting FMLA and I wrote a discrimination letter then was pulled off of warning. This is just another means for them to break my spirit and make me feel like I am worthless. They are well aware I have been speaking with the EEOC and my employer is keeping their responses in the grey area of intrepertation.
