i don’t know who i am

i reached out to the NHS for help, but i wasn't quite sure what help i needed. i ended up on a CBT therapy course for low mood and depression, but it just felt like the support wasn't enough as my problems run a lot deeper than just low mood - so i stopped attending my appointments.
i want to try for a diagnosis - my symptoms align a lot with BPD and PTSD. i feel like knowing what's wrong with me will bring me some peace of mind.
i am wondering, for people with more experience with the NHS mental health service:
where do i start?
how difficult of a process is it to be diagnosed with more complex mental health disorders, like the ones i mentioned?
any advice - what to say/ not to say to move through the system easier?
any advice big or small is appreciated, as i'm pretty much completely new to this. thanks :)
