- all in all, they don't care if I come back as a good employee as the second the new boss came in she had it in for me. They're trying to cover their butt and say they did all the right things. Problem is I don't even know if I'll get approved for short term given I don't want to take drugs, and I'm only doing psychotherapy, plus the aforementioned workplace issue driving this more than anything

I have lots of experience dealing with employees on leave, and would dispute that medical leave for mental illness is hard. The opposite may even be true in my experience as we can figure out physical accommodations pretty easily in many cases, mental ones not so much. Not trying to steer you here, just giving my experience from leadership on that front.
If you have a diagnosis, it should be treated like all other claims.
