Manager asked if I could “schedule mental breakdowns on my days off due to my work responsibilities”

Yesterday was a rough day. I 20F have a history of mental health issues starting in my teens that I have mostly grown out of but still struggle with depression/anxiety. I started working at my job about a year ago and it’s my first full time job. When I first started my job I noticed someone was quitting every week, I quickly realized how toxic our work environment was and not long did I end up wanting to quit too. I have stuck it out for almost a year after multiple harassment situations, and many other red flags that most people would not put up with. Yesterday I was having car problems and my one manager told me to take the morning off to deal with it. I ended up having a huge emotional/mental breakdown at work.

Yesterday I was having car problems and my one manager told me to take the morning off to deal with it. I ended up having a huge emotional/mental breakdown at work. My other manager came to talk to me. At first it seemed like she cared and wanted to help me. The conversation quickly changed and as I was clearly having a panic attack she started bringing up how I was “three hours late” and this is starting to become a pattern, that we are busy today and I need to wipe my tears and get out there, saying that I need to schedule these things on my days off because I have responsibilities at work, she doesn’t know what to do for me because she’s not a mental health professional, etc. basically a lot of very hurtful narcissistic things.

That night I sent my resignation letter without a two week notice and today they offered to discuss a personal leave and they don’t recommend leaving without a two week notice because of effects it will have on my future endeavors.

Should I just say fuck em and not reply? Or should I go back and take the personal leave but subjecting myself to the same treatment when I get back?
