I was fired as a server for a bad mystery shop that was beyong my control. I did not get along with the manager and I think he fired me unjustly.
The manager working the night of my mystery shop defended my shop, as it was beyond my control. The write up previous to the termination involved an argument I had with a coworker when I was not On Zoloft. I immediately went to the doctor, after the incident and before the write up, and got back on zoloft. I was told a notation would be put in the file, but it was not.

Before giving you advice to rely on, an attorney would want to know a lot more about the facts. But from what you've said here, it might be worth following up. One place to find a lawyer who can evaluate your case is our website: http://attorneypages.com
Your employment was probably "at will," meaning that the manager does not need to even have a reason to fire you, and "manager doesn't like" is okay -- even a bad writeup that you didn't deserve simply isn't a problem for the employer. However, if you have let them know that you are in treatment for a mental illness, and if there's something in the facts that at least suggests that you were fired because of that, you might have a case under the Americans With Disabilities Act.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: The Answer(s) provided above are for general information only. The attorney providing the answer was not serving as the attorney for the person submitting the question or in any attorney-client relationship with such person. Laws may vary from state to state, and sometimes change. Tiny variations in the facts, or a fact not set forth in a question, often can change a legal outcome or an attorney's conclusion. Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved. Unlike the information in the Answer(s) above, upon which you should NOT rely, for personal advice you can rely upon we suggest you retain an attorney to represent you.
