hi, everyone. i'm not sure if this is the right place to put this but i hope it is. 

so, basically, i'm scared that i'm lying about my symptoms, and i'm faking them so well that i'm fooling myself. i somewhat recently looked into and was later diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, but before i got the diagnosis i was told i was faking. 

my therapist had told me that all "borderlines are jerks," and as such it was impossible for me to have the disorder. she then went through the DSM's criteria, saw that i fit all of the symptoms (as i told her i did), and told me that i must have made them up after reading about bpd. 

since then, even despite my psychiatrist diagnosing me, i have no idea what to do or how to feel. i'm worried i'm lying so much that even i'm fooled, and i'm afraid everyone will hate me because of it. any support or advice would be very very appreciated, and once again i'm sorry if this was the incorrect place to post this.
