Are you serious???  Do you really expect to recover from a nervous breakdown in 1 Day?

If you really had a breakdown you are potentially looking at years to recover.

If I were you, I would be grateful to my employer for being compassionate to me.  Should you continue to work while you are not mentally stable, that would make your condition worse and would also affect other co-workers.  Look at the bright side of things.  That would help you recover and get away from the stress.  Turn stress around.  Spell STRESSED backward.  Tell me what you get.

I would think that rather than thinking they have done something wrong, look at it that you have an understanding employer with empathy for your situation. You most likely need a week to really rest and regain yourself after such an ordeal.

If one of my employees had ever told me they needed a day because of a nervous breakdown, I would have done the same.

Depends on your past history with this employer.  Done this before?  You've been given warning.

Yes, it is easy to get into this situation. Seeking and getting help will make you a stronger and determined person. Just take a breath and do it. You will thank yourself in the long run.

Maybe you did something at work that offended them when you were in the process of your nervous break down. Or maybe somebody at work lied about you b/c they don't like you ,or they're jealous. That happens a lot. As long as they pay you, don't worry about it  :-)
