Seeking Diagnosis for Possible BPD Traits

Hi, new here, before I begin just want to clarify that I haven't been diagnosed with bpd. I've done extensive research on it and have majority of the traits and symptoms. I am aware that just because I correlate with said traits and symptoms that it doesn't mean I have it. And from what I've read, it's one of the hardest disorders to diagnose. How do I bring this up with a professional to possibly get a diagnosis? It's honestly one of the only disorders that makes sense as to why I act the way I do, why I am the way I am. Everytime I bring this up to my gp they just send me to headspace, and when I bring it up there it tends to fall on deaf ears and nothing gets done, I basically get left high and dry without any answers.

I'm currently waiting to hear back from someone to book an appointment to start seeing them as I think they're currently trying to get a hold of my gp to get my mental health treatment plan, I have an appointment next week to see the nurse at that place so hopefully I'll get an update on it all. I've talked with 1 psychologist twice, I've talked with 3 psychologists and they were just trying to treat my anxiety and depression despite me voicing my concerns about possibly having bpd and what ever else
