I think i have gone through a similar process. My work were trying to confront my poor behaviour so they were winding up the pressure and i cracked and went to the doctors in tears.
in hindsight my poor behaviour was all due to my problems with communication because i have Aspergers. Their management process was to demand that i improve and i simply couldn't and i ended up screaming at our hr lady. I was able to walk out of the office though so the ambulance wasn't necessary! The pressure had been building for the last year and i was getting very stressed and depressed and i wasn't doing a good job at the end of it.
i already suspected that i had Asperger's so when i went to the gp i didn't ask for the stress and depression to be treated, i just asked for a referral which ended up with my suspicions being confirmed. No meds were involved as i don't think i got so far past breaking point as you.
my work are now being much better and understanding as they have to treat me differently as i have the diagnosis and it is covered by the equality act. I'm a programmer so it seems to be quite common amongst us. Now that I understand more about the condition i am enjoying the work again and work is now happy place for me (with some adjustments)
do you want to go back to work? What sort of work did you do? now that you know you have ASD, do you think it was a good job for you?
