I had a similar experience and for me it turned out I was just working in the wrong environment. Not saying you shouldn't work hard to prove yourself if you want to keep this job but I will say in my own experience a change of scenery , a job with more autonomy, less micro-managing and honestly a less structured environment allowed me to improve and become more responsible. Edit: Also to realize I was more valuable elsewhere. I left an office where I was an afterthought and went to an office where I am a pillar to their success . I went from a job where I felt useless to a job where they constantly thank me and express gratitude for my work....which they already pay me to do !

Just because you may not be a good fit at this office doesn't mean you are incapable of doing the job, work culture is a thing .

If you are going to focus on improving your performance at this job and you're taking this two month probation seriously my tip would be to forget the review , ignore everything you've done for the past 2 years ( because it was apparently wrong) and for the next two months be relentlessly attentive to all the detail and recommendations your boss makes. You absolutely can do it , the question is will you .

Good luck !
