Anxiety is Getting Worse
i cant handle my life anymore. i'm not saying im gong to go kill myself. im just saying, life sucks and i dont know what to do anymore. school is messed up, i have basically no friends anymore, my mental disorder things are getting worse, my new living situation i cant get used to.
i dont want to stop cutting but at the same time i want to tell my mom because its starting to get out of my control. mostly.., i cut on my arm, i usually dont do it there unless im really upset and cant control it, and i need help with gym class. and i keep finding myself in this situation. how do i tell my mom this? should i even tell her? i do see a psychologist but not for another two weeks. thats why i was thinking about telling my mom.
my anxiety is getting worse, and i hear voices which is getting worse. should i tell her that part?

what do i do??

You have been experiencing some major changes in your life right now--new living situation, feeling isolated with out any friends, increased thoughts and feelings of self harm, and now hearing some voices.  You are doing the right thing right now--you are reaching out for help! 
However, would you consider trying to talk to your mom about your feelings--as you have a lot to cope with right now.  It does not matter that your psychologist appointment is 2 weeks away, you do not have to wait that long for help.  It may also be a good idea to talk to your mom as she can either call to move the appointment up, or think of another option to get you the help you deserve. 
It really sounds as if you are trying to do the best to cope, and not to self  harm--but the feelings are intense lately, and it is more positive to express your feelings to someone by talking to them, rather than feeling like you have to hurt yourself to feel better.
Let us know that you are ok, talk to your mom: those are the things you can do!

Take care,
