I mean "Sorry if I'm inconsistent at the workplace but I think I have paranoid personality disorder" doesn't seem like a valid reason for showing up drunk and being afraid to take a ****ing **** without thinking people are suspecting I'm getting drunk.

Unless you're really close with your employer then I'd keep that **** to myself. Tell your employer you have a mental illness and they'll probably be counting the days till they can replace you. Incompetence is one thing, but crazy is a wild card that they probably have no desire to deal with.
