My employers want a statement from me telling them why I should still have my job. Help?

I hope this is ok to post here. I’d much rather be not working but I’d also prefer not to be homeless again. Long story short I was suspended for attendance. It hasn’t been too bad over time but within these last couple months I’ve found myself needing to call out. Which means hits. A few doctor appointments, times when I was sick, but honestly more so for my mental health. (Blue collar worker for a toxic corporation.) I take accountability but I am a good worker. I have no other write ups or blemishes and I’ve been working on getting my behavioral intermittent leave they have because it’ll allow me to call in when I need it without getting in trouble. Basically they want me to write a statement on why I should keep my job. I’m sorry to bug, but I’ve been struggling. I love the work but…

Basically they want me to write a statement on why I should keep my job. I’m sorry to bug, but I’ve been struggling. I love the work but I don’t want to go back to the toxicity but I NEED to to get by.

Sorry for blabbing. Just going through it right now and any help would be appreciated. My brain is mush right now.
