Do I tell my friends/flatmates to stop something they’re doing

For context I’m 20, my friends are 21 and 23 and we’ve been living together since September in student accommodation (also with 2 other guys but they kept to themselves) and will be again for the next year at uni.
For starters Ive been the only person to ever do the dishwasher for months but I didn’t mind as one of them always paid for the tablets but recently the other one bought them so now with the new pack they bought when I was at home they’ve made me send them the money for it. I would just tell them to do the dishwasher more often themselves if I’m now paying too but they’re both awful at doing it and leave so much space where other stuff could fit I’d rather not waste my money if I’m gonna be made to spend it. I also would just stop using the dishwasher and wash my stuff by hand to not pay but since they don’t do the dishwasher, the sink is too full to actually be able to use at all.
The big issue though is that they keep using my stuff without asking and then not washing it up, I only have a limited amount of things (2 trays, 3 glasses, one of each kind of chopping knife, one pair of scissors etc), they use all the things and don’t wash them basically leaving me to either wash up my own stuff that I didn’t dirty to use it or not be able to eat cause I only had the one option. This in itself is bad enough but they’ve also used tin foil, grease paper and half of my ketchup (which is the expensive kind where they usually get a cheaper one) also without asking.
If this was any normal case I’d just bring it up instantly but they’ve had an issue with me in the past where I spent too much time with my boyfriend and not with them (which I’ve apologised for and explained the the reason) but even after the apology and me spending more time with them, they seem to still have some sort of issue with me so I can’t be bothered for them to be even more annoyed if I complain about something but I also want to be able to eat and not have the stuff that needs to be rebought used and therefore making me have to spend more money that I wouldn’t need to if it was just me using the stuff like it should be.

Is this a sign something bad is gonna happen tonight?

Im not usually one to believe that thing of “if things are happening that delay you from leaving you shouldn’t be going out” or stuff along those lines but so much just happened I might have to start believing it.
I’m going to a concert tonight and I just had a shower and in the shower my water pressure was awful (it’s usually bad but this was a lot worse than normal) so I could hardly wash out any product and then I put on a body scrub and again couldn’t wash it off but I’m also autistic so the feeling was a sensory nightmare that wouldn’t go away and then when I went to shave i accidentally cut my leg like 5 times and then got a cramp in the other one. Then everything seemed fine until I put on moisturiser and put it too close to my eyes so they started to sting 😭

UPDATE: more things went wrong throughout the night but the concert itself was good and nothing too crazy bad happened lol, must’ve just had some really bad luck or brain fog for some reason

How do I get diagnosed for BPD?

For context I’m a 20 year old female from the UK. I know I have to go to a gp to get a referral but just wanted to know if anybody has been diagnosed this way, what exactly it is I should say to actually get them to send a referral off for a test? or if anybody knows of any other ways I can go around it, like if it’s possible to go straight to a professional for a test or go through another system or anything really.
I’ve considered my childhood and current day brain (to put it simply) and I am almost certain i definitely have BPD, I’m going to continue doing more research into symptoms and how it’s expressed and so forth but was more so wondering how I should word it for them to not just write it off as depression or something
