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.

WD,I love you.This is not going be pleasent but if you want pleasent see your grandmother.Because you are my friend in the truest sense of the word,here goes raw dog with no bag.
Stop drinking at work,or before work.You are a binge drinking alcoholic.
Now why you are this way ,could legitimately be because of mental illness. not taking that away from you or knocking it.But your drinking effects your employer and their ability to make money,The money that you need in order to be successful and care for yourself. Go seek help,and take the medication. Do not stop especially if paranoia is a factor.But you being paranoid about ppl thinking youre drunk is ludicrous. They know you are drunk.Just like ppl know when Im wasted at work.Knock that **** off and you wont be paranoid about it any longer,about that anyways..They re still listening tho..... Once you take the meds from your brain doctor then talk to them,tell em youre sorry and theyll belive it because you've taken the steps to fix the problem,instead of going to them with more of your problems.Effectively rendering your excuses to be responsible proactive actions.
