I have never posted on reddit before so I apologise if anything is weird. 

I am 21f, a mother and in a 3 year relationship. I was diagnosed with bpd, depression, anxiety when I was 18 and recently have been going through the process of testing for autism. Even though I have all these diagnoses my psych and doctor say I am quite high functioning and because of this people forget that I suffer mental illness. I will go a while without going through any obvious lows and suddenly I will suffer a really bad low (depressed, tired, a lil snappy, dissociating etc) , I don't have trouble navigating my low but my partner and others do. My partner M23 will initially get frustrated with my behavior although after I explain what is happening in my mind and my chest he will apologise and try to help me any way he can. My mother F44 is the same ( less apologising though). I am just tired of always being so put together and having the expectation of me being essentially perfect. How do I get them to fully understand that I may be high functioning but I still suffer time to time? I am tired of having to explain myself every time I am feeling low. Does anyone else go through this?
