Class participation?

I go to a private college in Arizona. I have severe ADHD that has been diagnosed to me by my physician and psychiatrist. Today I was having a rough day because on Father’s Day, yesterday, my dad passed away. Since my head is spinning, I forgot to take my meds this morning, I got 50% on a huge exam we took first thing in her class, so overall it has been a really shit day. My professor asked me to go up to the board and show a pretty lengthy detailed math equation for the class, she asked me if I had found the answer to the equation yet and I said no. Instead of calling on someone else she told me to come up and figure it out up there in front of the class. I’m already shaking and can’t hold onto a thought because I forgot to take my medication and now I’m anxious and my body is going crazy. I couldn’t focus on the class in general let alone this new material that we were covering. I politely and respectively declined and she said “would you like to participate in my class” and I said “at the moment no.” So she calls on somebody else and then right after announced to the class and me, “get ready and make sure you know the next one because you’re doing the next one, class, -my name- is doing the next one. She immediately showed the next problem and gave me less than a minute to work on it before telling me to go up there again. She asked me if I had an answer and I said no and she said “come up and figure it out” and I shook my head no and ignored her because I already said all I needed to say. She walks up to me, sticks the marker in my face and says “you need to go up to the board” and I said no. The whole time this is happening my fellow students kept offering to take over for me, knowing that this was an unusual day for me, and every time time she basically told them to shut up and that this was my problem. After refusing again, she stopped class and pulled me out into the hallway and She asked me what my problem was and told me I don't have a choice in whether I participate or not. I’m pissed off at this point and I told her that I wasn't having a good day and that I didn't want to fucking go up there. She (talking to me like a child) says "oh you're not having a good day? That's not good enough for me, you are required to participate in my class regardless of how 'bad' your day is." i said "sick, I don't give a fuck what's good for you" and she said we all have bad days and that i needed to be more specific for it to mean anything to her. I told her my dad passed away this weekend and That I really didn't even want to be here in general, much less in that situation and me as a student has a right to refuse to participate. She then replied "okay well today I will I will take that into consideration" and basically told me that I needed to tell her that before class started. And I just said "why the fuck would I tell you that? you don't need to know what's going on in my life" and then walked back into class in tears. We are required to wear a uniform which I was out of compliance with today, I was unprepared for class because I forgot my homework and half of my supplies, my laptop was at 2%, and I didn’t even sign the attendance sheet for class like we do every single morning. Today was clearly an off day and she expected me first thing in the morning to walk up to her and be like “ oh hey, this happened to me this weekend/today so if you’re planning on calling on me today, don’t.” What the fuck? I just want to know if she broke any laws and if I am required to participate in general but more specifically under the circumstances. Please and thank you. My fellow students told me she broke a few laws and that I need to talk to someone higher up. I tried to do some research on my own but I just need to go to sleep, I’m in so much pain. I appreciate it.
