I'm with Christina regarding expecting others' to understand the diagnosis. I think this is the unfortunately reality. Though if you eventually receive a diagnosis of whatever kind, perhaps you could point them towards articles/information on the topic. Others' don't have the expertise to understand it, and it can be hard ourselves to articulate it.

I already deal with so much depression and anger because people are dumb and don't get me or other things.
It sounds like you're externalizing your reactions to others -i.e. your depression and anger are others' fault. You're not helpless or hopeless, however much it feels this way at the time. Therapy can help, and it's great you're engaged in it. We're complex people (I mean everyone) and it's hard to really 'get' other people. But since others' can't read our minds, it's important to articulate how we're feeling and why --this is easier said than done, though, again therapy should help.
I would like if people could grant me some slack when I'm snapping at people because no one gets me and most people bore me and disappoint me and not think that I'm trying to be conceited or rude.

I'm not sure I understand this, but I'll say that whatever the reasons behind it, we're all responsible for our behavior; the onus is not on others' to put up with others, we have to find ways to change our behavior (again, easier said than done), fall, try to pick ourselves back up again -but blaming others I don't think would be very helpful in your recovery.
Since you don't have diagnoses yet, I'd recommend you see a psychiatrist for an evaluation; it's important to get to the root of this (both psychiatrically and psychologically) so you can receive the most appropriate treatment and work towards recovery.
Aside from your individual therapist, have you tried DBT?
