Hi friends of antiwork. I am a long time lurker of this sub and I finally have something to ask lol!
So I (22F if it helps) struggle with mental illness (I have been diagnosed with a handful of things) but I have gotten to the point where I can mostly handle my severe anxiety and panic attacks, especially at work. I work in a sales-based customer service job that I would like to say I am pretty good at. In fact, I have already exceeded my sales goal by thousands of dollars this month, despite it being only my second month at the job.
Unfortunately, today I began to have really severe hallucinations while at work and had to go home early after panicking on the sales floor. I am really worried I am going to be fired for this. I have proof on paper of my (mental) disability/diagnosis. My manager has been really nice and understanding so far, especially because it's obvious when my disability is not actively troubling me, I'm really good at my job. I would say that I am totally okay and functioning around 95% of the time.
My question is if I have disclosed my diagnosis both during the interview process/application/paperwork AND to my store manager, if I am fired due to my disability, is there anything I can do? Like does that fall under discrimination laws or anything? I really doubt I will be fired for this but I'm covering my bases anyway and figured someone on this subreddit would be able to help. Thank you guys so much.
Editing to add that I work in New York, USA.
