Advice on how to keep my job while struggling with mental health issues?

Sorry if this isnt the appropriate place to post this, im not sure where to go with it but im genuinely at a loss atm. I have depression, anxiety, and bpd. This makes it nearly impossible to function when i have a breakdown. HR and my boss know my struggles but the more the breakdowns happen the less sympathy they give and are very frustrated with me. Im genuinely afraid of being fired if i dont quit first. We cant leave work without a day or more notice as it will be considered an occurrence, and you can only get 3 of those within 90 days or you will be terminated, and the 3rd one in 90 days is a write up and put on probation. I am in therapy and take medication, im doing my part the best i can but im at such a loss. I completely understand…

I am in therapy and take medication, im doing my part the best i can but im at such a loss. I completely understand they have a business to run ans have tried to help and been sympathetic and at some point you cant do anything anymore but at the same time i feel like jobs could care less about any issues their employees have, or their employees in general. In fact, i once heard my boss say something along the lines of “ if he quits its fine, he is replaceable” about a coworker i had at the time. I dont feel like finding another job is the answer, i feel like they are all the same. Not to mention this is the best paying job around and i support myself completely, if i take any paycuts or leave this job for less money i can no longer live on my own and support myself. Does anyone have any advice on how im supposed to keep a full time job ( 12 hours, 4-5 days a week) while struggling with mental illness? Ive talked with my therapist and HR about accommodations at work but they dont have any seeing as tho depression and anxiety are so common and you cant really do anything for a personality disorder.
