Just a follow up to my previous post. Bob mentioned getting back to work and performing at a high level so the boss will have no ammunition to take action based on work performance. I mentioned getting back to work and sticking to basics. Bob is right. At a bare minimum, get the basics done. Perferably excell at the job though. In either case, I think the consensus from those of us with the unfortunate experiences in this issue is that returning to work and seeking medical attention are top priorities. Bob also made an excellent point of documenting everything. Hopefully you'll never need to make a case. But if so, documentation is powerful ammunition. In the mentime, might want to consider the real possibility that this problem is not going to go away on its own. Medical attention seems prudent ASAP. And like Bob said, be prepared for medication. In my opinion medication is mandatory in this case, with or without accompanying counseling. Don't kid yourself that this whole thing is some kind of temporary fluke that's just going to clear up on its own any day now.
