Hello everyone , I have bpd, Im a full time college student, take lamotrigine and trazadone everyday, and work as kitchen expo in a fast paced upscale Italian restaurant. Yesterday I had very little sleep and slightly more caffeine than normal, and people just kept talking to me like I was screaming at them, I did my best to not be short with people, but at the end of the shift my manager said he would be switching me to bussing because “my personality doesn’t fit the job requirements and my energy is “disruptive”.

My Gf tells me constantly that when I get stressed out I have a dismissive tone in my voice, so I can beleive that i may not have treated the kitchen and servers the right way, but I care about being a decent human being so I have just a couple questions:

How do you ask someone a question or ask for help in a workplace without sounding rude or having bad energy?

Do caffeine and lack of sleep impact you as it does me?

Should I be upset about bring switched to bussing? Bussing is honestly way easier for slightly less money?

Thank you! Im so glad this community exists
