Switch controls outlet???

The picture does indeed show the correct wiring for what you want. The fact that the outlet switches off with the switch proves that it is not wired according to the picture and the outlet is connected to the outgoing side of the switch, you should double check you have correctly identified each cable at the switch as it sounds like you have mixed up the incoming feed with the cable going to the light.

A problem between the panel and the switch would not cause the outlet to be switched on and off by the switch.

You nailed it. When I originally pulled the switch out, there was a black screw with one of the black wires going to that so I just assumed that was the power. Turns out it was wired incorrectly prior to me working in bathroom which would explain why the switch always shut off the power to receptacle.
I pigtailed the other black and now it works.
Good call, thanks for input!

The pic is right, my wiring is right. Something is off somwhere between the panel and the power that comes into switch is my only guess.

When you say that your receptacle quits working is the GFCI receptacle tripping or tripped. I have to agree with everyone else that if it’s wired exactly like the diagram then there is no reason why it wouldn’t work independently from the light switch. Did you wire the GFCI correctly and terminate the wire to the line side of your receptacle and not the load side.
