About a year ago, after reading and researching quite a bit I discovered I was 99.9% I had borderline personality disorder. I saw a therapist (for my depression) who claimed I had a generalized anxiety disorder. I never told her I thought I was borderline, but we never really connected well and I felt like merely a patient. I faked whenever I would have to meet with her until eventually I just stopped going. I'm essentially making this post as a "what should I do now?" How do I get professionally diagnosed and given treatment options. I am slipping back and driving those around me away.

Get a therapist or a pdoc.
Make a list of your history of and current symptoms and the impact those symptoms have had on various areas of your life.
Present list.
Wait for diagnosis.
Easy
BPD overlaps other disorders so don't try to tailor your symptoms to fit the DSM criteria. Just be honest about the ways your life is effed up. I don't suggest any self-diagnoses because I want the process to be as objective as possible. If you don't agree with what they tell you, you can then ask why/why not BPD or request testing.
