I'm a true believer in mental health days. Obviously you needed and deserved one! The nature of your "illness" is none of the manager's business. Is there a policy around how many days out before you need a doctor's note? (In my place of employment, it is 3 days.) I would look into it and go to the meeting with your manager empowered with information. It may be that you need not "admit" to anything and I certainly wouldn't. (Don't lie, just don't admit you weren't "sick sick.") I also would not tolerate any sort of "punishment" as that would be admitting to a wrong done and you did nothing wrong by taking care of yourself! You will be a better employee as a happy, well rested, mentally healthy, person.
