During manifestion of disability and in a state of unsound mind, resigned position; requested to rescind resignation 45 minutes later and was denied.
Disabilities were known to employer. Told of a meeting on a work related topic, yet the meeting was a confrontation regarding my disabilities with individuals present who did not know of my disabilities. The meeting was confrontational leading to my becoming hysterical with my anxiety disorder and having a seizure and blacking out. In this state I resigned as I left the meeting to escape the situation. After taking medication and calming down I requested for that to be rescinded. This was denied and I was made to leave work. I had become upset again, yet was made to leave on my own.

This sounds like it was set up to trigger your disorder, and that might even be true. I think you need to go through all of the facts of your case, with a lawyer in your area who does employment discrimination cases, for a full evaluation and advice you can rely upon.

I'm not a Florida lawyer, so I don't know what your state's law has to say about this. But there is a federal statute, the Americans With Disabilities Act (usually abbreviated "ADA"), that protect people with disabilities like yours, and your rights might have been violated here. These cases are very fact-sensitive, so, again, you need to have someone review all of the details. These cases can also be long and drawn-out, and nasty.
