Legal Question in Medical Leave in Indiana

Was fired after getting intermittent FMLA, said that I couldn't do my job

I was threatened at work by my boss on a very personal and professional level. This caused me great distress and my ulcer got alot worse and I developed severe anxiety problems. I used my vacation and personal time, was told by the company that I needed a doctor's note to cover me, got that, then was told that I needed a psychiatric evaluation because it was a mental health issue before I came back, I got that also, then was told that I could not come back until I filled out for FMLA. I did this also and my doctor had no problem doing it because it was work related anxiety,I was given intermittent FMLA for weekly treatment. I submitted it, then was told that there was ''question whether you can do your job or not due to this'' and was terminated the same day I turned in my paperwork. I notified them that I was seeking this action at their suggestion about 4 days prior to this. Was also written up several times for ''refusal to come to work'' when I was told not to until I had proper paperwork. They said that since I was terminated, my FMLA was void and they did not have to accept it. It covered every day I was off. What can I do and was I treated unfairly? Thanks.
