Do not lie to a prospective employer--either on your resume or in person. THAT will get you fired for cause. There are many ways to present the truth and it still be the truth.

FMLA is a good option if you're eligible. Instead of quitting you can have your doctor put you out of work for the depression and then they can't fire you while you are out. My supervisor at my last job did this every time she started to get the feeling that were about to fire her (they fired a lot of people for random reasons there.) But my case is that while you are out it is illegal for them to fire you and it can work to your advantage while you are getting better. I think that it is the depression talking when you say you just want to resign. It is really hard to find work out there right now and resigning could be a decision that you regret later. Only you can make the best decision for your situation, but coming from someone who has had depression/post partum depression I know that feeling of just wanting to give up and I have always regretted it later when I was better. Like I said before... this just my two cents and you have to make the best decision for you. Whatever you decide, I wish you the best.How many employees are there in the district? You may be able to file for F.M.L.A. leave (if you have not already used your time up) and at the very least be able to draw a paycheck while you get counseling. Then try to return to work.
TOMORROW I would insist that a grievance be filed for hostile work environment, and harassment. This will help you in the future if you pursue legal action.
As urban escapee said, you may have an ADA case as well.
Without seeing your contract I cannot give more advice. I have fought a few of these cases and always had a favorable outcome.
you know, it sounds like you have your mind made up to resign, but I would make them fire me. That way you get unemployment. Even if you qualify for SSI you are losing your job because THEY want you gone not because you want to leave. You dont have another job lined up and in this economy are not likely to find one fast...LISTEN to everyone here that has told you to make them fire you. There is such a thing as COBRA for your health benefits.
Once they fired me, I would be talking to a lawyer about wrongful termination and persuing it based on the Americans with Disabilities act. IF your boss acknowledged that you have an issue with depression and did nothing to accomodate your needs, they may be in a lot of trouble and you might have a case.
If you resign, you are giving them what they want...which is to not have their unemployment insurance go up since you will not be able to file a claim.
you are gonna get screwed in this deal, might as well get what you can out of it, while you can.
