Legal Question in Employment Law in California

I became ill and unable to work as of July 14, 2015. I went on SDI and FMLA. My employer has emailed me stating if I do not return to work by October 7 they will terminate me. That is only 11 weeks. . Also the reson for my disability was probably brought on by work stress. I was forced to do two peoples jobs for the last year and a half with no help or additional compensationg causing me to work 70 hour weeks and 7 days a week., I asked for help and was told no they wanted to save the money and did not want to hire an assistant for me. Also was sexually harrassed by a coworker last december and reported it to HR. they took 4 months to investigate and when the man said he did not do it casewqs closed and no action was taken except HR started harrassing me. Listening to my phone calls, checking my computer after hours, checking every little thing I was doing. Very stressful. then in July my supervisor was changed to the same supervisor of the man that sexually harrassed me. She has a reputation of terminating people. I have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and I am not sure of the future of my working. /my doctor has put me on leave until Dec 15 so far. I am on meds and getting medical care but in a great amount of poain and the thought of losing my job creates additional stress and anxety for me which hinders my recovery. There is no cure for Fibromyalgia but additional stress is not good for me. My company is being uncooperative with supplying me necessary docs needed for SSI and is now not responding to my requests. Everything has been put in writing. In July I asked for a copy of my personnelk file as they put me on a pip right before I went out on leave and I was mailed a fraction of my file. All I got was my original application and resume, my hiring papers and a document that I signed when the company changed names earlier this year. My sexual harrassment claim was missing amongst many other things. is it not their responsibility to send me my entire file within 30 days of requesting it? Are they not responsible for punitive damages for not doing so? I am being harrassed, fied for being on medical leave and retaliated against for reporting sexual harrassment in the workplace. I need a laywer. Cannot afford anything exceopt contingency at this point. I can barely pay my bills. Please someone help me!
