Borderline personality disorder
So I have borderline personality disorder which my family knows nothing about . My mom expects me to stay home 24/7 and do nothing with myself since I left finally for a few hours the 22nd and its the 24th and she is still giving me attitudes not letting me grab my own child hold her wont let me be a mother because she is mad she wants to change diapers put clothes on her shower her do everything just because she is mad at me I have bpd so I know when there is a mood change with other people I can sense it and its frustrating .. I am 20 not 5 / 10 years old (20) so if I wanna leave the house ? I can . She keeps trying to control me and what I do because to her im so disabled mentally I shouldn’t be able to do any normal stuff and it’s annoying …

I'm sorry to hear that your mom has been imposing all of these expectations and interfering with your freedom. Can understand that you really want to be able to leave the house, be a mother to your child, and generally act freely like a 20-year-old rather than being treated like a 5-year-old.
Do you think there's any way that you might be able to get her to understand that just because you have some mental health issues, that doesn't mean that you are completely incapacitated--and her respecting your autonomy would actually go a long way toward helping with those issues?
