Exactly, this. I'm considered high functioning but that doesn't mean I'm not a mess. I hold down a job, but work is still hell for me and is a constant battle to keep from walking out. I'm married, but I'm lucky as hell he hasn't left me yet because I'm no saint by any means. I hurt myself, I beat myself up, and I am still pretty out of control in other ways.
