I work for a startup that has really low ARR and I think I’m about to get put on a PIP or get fired. What should I do?

I'm (34m) a single dad and I've been struggling with my MH with the start up stress and the stress of being a single dad to a 11f & 9m has been getting to me. I have dropped a few balls and despite my reddit generated username, I'm actually a positive person my MH not withstanding.

I checked in with my family and friends, and they've been really concerned about me for months. I realized that I've been masked how I've been feeling from myself. I made an appointment with my PCP tomorrow to get a diagnosis & on meds ASAP, as it's been a while since it's been a problem though I do have a history.

Do I share this with my manager before I get put on the PIP or possibly fired? Is that a bad move? What do I do?

I'm panicking because I have no savings – the divorce and lawyers wiped me out. I have already started applying. I can't go on FMLA as I haven't been working here long enough
