Hey there, I'm not officially diagnosed with quiet BPD but I have self diagnosed as such for 10 years. I've just reached the point where I truly do want to get better.

It's silly but I was wondering: how exactly does one get tested and a diagnosis. Do I just call the mental health office and say "Hey I might have BPD can I get an appointment?" Or should I just set up a talk and confide in the therapist about this later? 

What was your experience like? I'm just scared in taking the first step.
