I was terminated after on medical leave last week after suffering from a manic episode. I thought the CIA and NSA had infiltrated the company and I accused 3 employees of being spies.

Other people witnessed I was being abused and reported it. I did not report the abuse myself. Then HR contacted me and I answered their questions honestly, with text messages and emails as evidence. Did not say anything I did not have evidence or witnesses to back up. I asked to be quietly transferred to…
They were trying to “throw me a line”
