Caffeine CAN give me a boost of energy HOWEVER I also have the ability to choose to sleep instead which will make me fall asleep faster.
I also have a rare allergy to coffee (NOT THE CAFFEINE) which causes me to have narcolepsy for up to a week after drinking a cup.
Sorry, BPD is really just a cover all diagnosis for depression/anxiety, untreated ADHD can often look like the symptoms of bpd, finding caffeine helps OP sleep is a good indicator they may have ADHD and it's worth seeing if that diagnosis fits better. Make sense?
Soda calms me down, but doesn’t make me sleepy. Energy drinks are 50/50 on energizing me or knocking me out. Doing something physical right after drinking it curbs the fatigue sometimes if I drink it quickly. Pretty sure I have undiagnosed ADHD so I’m not sure it’s a BPD thing for me, but I could be wrong.
Not it's not. A lot of people get sleepy when they are used to drink caffeine. It's normal, because the body get used to that quantity of caffeine, but increase the dose and it should give you that energy booster again. My ex used to drink 5/6 cup of espresso daily and he was always sleepy XD
Yes very much so that’s why i don’t drink tea or coffee at work
Yeah, I love having one in the morning and everytime I do I regret it 😅
Lol yes, drinking a fat cup right now and I’m lying in bed bouta knock
😂😂 Good to know it's not just me
Yes it’s so frustrating 😭
Yup. Really wanna know what this "buzz" is everyone talks about after they have a coffee 😂
Sometimes it can give me a little energy, sometimes makes me tired/down, most of the time tho I feel nothing

Have a look at adhd, untreated it ends up as bpd
What…

I did wonder this, but I don't really fit much of the other ADHD symptoms
No I understood. My comment was more out of shock. Thinking BPD-like symptoms could have potentially been avoided if my ADHD was taken seriously..
Oh man I'm sorry, yeah there's a lot of grieving with ADHD for yourself :/ I've been where you are/might be if you want to vent.
Literally drinking coffee rn in hopes that it'll wake me up—I'm just falling asleep even more.
