Fired from my job during obvious state of mental health decline.
Post Body

I was recently fired from a job I dedicated nearly every waking moment too.

Pulling 70 hours week and week. I was one of their best, most productive, intelligent, capable, and dedicated employees.

But I was going through a situation with a colleague of the opposite sex that I used to be really good friends with and who then had started to treat me like a bad guy just because I expressed how I feel about her. Though I did this in a respectful manner and I never touched her inappropriately.

On top of that there were promises that were made to me that shouldn't have been made and thus I was under the assumption that I was allowed to do certain things as a supervisor, only to find out I wasn't allowed to do those things and I wasn't even a supervisor even though it was agreed upon between me and my manager.

In addition to this there were limitations put on me for things I was doing, like helping the homeless out of my own pocket or contacting a non-client.

Collectively, these things boiled into an explosion of anger and fury that was directed at my supervisor, though I wasn't mad at her, I was mad at my manager and the company in general.

I apologized to her for my outburst and told her that I appreciate her but that I would be calling my manager shortly.

After attempting to reach my manager who didn't answer his phone, which was another reoccurring issue I had with many of my coworkers and management.

I sent him a long text message explaining why I did what I did and that I did the things I did based off the assumption that I was allowed to do those things given the conversation I had with him about me being a supervisor, to which he agreed.

At the end of my message I stated that if they were going to treat me like this and they didn't want to deal with me anymore that I would put in my two weeks notice. His response to me was "I expect your two weeks notice." This further infuriated me.

I then have a conversation with his boss, including over the phone, were his boss asked to me rescind my two weeks notice and come into a meeting two days later on Friday to discuss what exactly are the expectations and limitations of my job.

When I came into the meeting, it wasn't about what I was told it would be about and instead it was about my behavior and immediate termination.

They said sexual harassment and I simply accepted it and signed the paperwork without reading it out of both anger and just a complete "done with this shit" feeling. That was a mistake as when I read my copy of the notice of termination, there were many things that I was accused of doing that I never did, lots of incorrect information, and many events misconstrued.

I now feel as if I was wrongfully terminated and as if there could have been other courses of action they could have taken, such as giving me time off and getting me the mental health counciling that I need, putting me through a sexual harassment course, and changing my schedule so that me and my female colleague wouldn't be working together.

Instead, they fired me for various reasons, both true and untrue, including clear and noticeable changes in my behavior and mental health concerns. And the thing is they knew I was suffering from mental health issues and instead they fired me on a Friday, leading to a weekend where I've now fallen into a mental health crisis.

I am pursuing legal action and I would like advice from anyone with experience and expertise in these sorts of matters.
