How do I tell my manager that my poor performance is because I am thoroughly burnt out and am having neurological issues? /u/Sweet_Day_4561 CSCQ protests reddit

1.5 YOE at FAAANG. I have some neurological issues that have building up over the past few years and came to a head earlier this year. It’s affected all facets of my life, I am constantly forgetful, make small mistakes with things, have communication issues, am unable to think of or remember certain avenues when doing a task etc. I am still working with a neuropsychologist to see what could be causing this. My primary care is willing to support a case for FMLA, but I am not in a position just yet where I am about to breakdown and need to take FMLA right away. I also don’t want to go without any income for that period of time.

It’s had a significant effect on my work and I’ve made a lot of mistakes recently, big and small. Two months ago because of internal reshuffling I was transferred to a new team, but it seems like my reputation as an incompetent moron has preceded me and everyone is treating me as a burden who is expected to mess up, but also is not worthy of help. My first first on this team my new manager pulled me aside and lectured me in a tone that you’d use with a misbehaving child, saying I had to learn such and such new service and get ramped up quickly etc. At the same time people aren’t willing to help me, even with simple things like granting me permissions I need to run a certain workflow or do a task.

I think my first tasks on this new team took longer than they should have, although nobody’s said anything to me. I anticipate that at some point my manager will pull me aside again and say “The fuck is the matter with you?”

How do I tell him that it is because my mind has basically been broken recently? I need to communicate this in a way that is professional and doesn’t outright admit that I am unable to do my job (so I don’t get put on a shortlist for PIP), while also gathering sympathy.
