Legal Question in Employment Law in Indiana

Would I be better off filing for harassment or workers comp?

I was unofficially written up for 2 issues which were not warranted. I was blind-sided. In August of this year I was formally written up for 2 additional issues; again I was not aware there was any problem before the Performance Improvement Plan was written and submitted to HR. I complained to my Manager's boss who was not aware of this, including the fact that I was working 10-12 hour days without taking lunch in order to get the work done; my position is salaried. (I'm an RN for 25+ years). As soon as I mentioned the words ''bordering on harrassment'' I was sent to HR. My boss was written up for harassing me. On Nov. 11, I was lead to believe that my boss and I were meeting to re-evaluate my ''improved performance.'' Instead, she extended the PIP for another 60 days and had added 6-7 additional issues to this extension. I went to the psychiatrist and therapist I had contacted back in Aug. through the EAP.They both felt that I was suffering from major depression and anxiety related to work situations. I was started on medications. I was placed on a FMLA med. leave of absence. The next day I saw my medical doctor for weight loss,insomnia, migraines, reflux disease and heartbeat irregularities. Now on short term disabil. Can't go back.
