Answers:
you need a psychologist, not JUST a psychiatrist to give you meds!. think about getting a name from the current doc so that the two can work well together!. you need to document as many thoughts as you can and bring your concerns to your next appointment!. you need, NEED to see a psychologist soon, you don't what these voices to hurt you any longer!. depression is not usually linked with auditory hallucinations (voices) so maybe bring that up with your doc!. while you are getting this all under control, consider not going back for a bit!. when you feel ready, it might be a good chance to meet new friends or get back to a "normal" routine!. seriously, these are not feelings and pains that you have to keep to yourself; talk to you parents, a trusted adult or seek a psychologist as soon as you can!.

Oh dear!
I'm sorry to hear that you're having such a hard time!. I know how it feels!. I suffer from many of the same symptoms aside from the voices!. A lot could be contributing to your spiraling thoughts!. The only 2 things I highly suggest are medication, and NOT to be home schooled!! Many times being depressed leaves you without the energy to go out in the "real world", especially after being home schooled before!. You've gotten used to being isolated and going to public school is a difficult adjustment!. I myself am clinically depressed with an eating disorder, A!.D!.D, social anxiety disorder, and bipolar!. Quite the mix, huh! Being on meds help, though it does suck having to take pills every morning just to function!. However, the key word is function!.
Also, cutting yourself is difficult to stop!. I don't know the actual medical term for it!. At the treatment centers I went to when I was your age we just called it being a cutter!. A therapist is definitely needed, and your suicidal thoughts are a serious matter that needs to be addressed asap! Being your age is tough enough!. Why feel the way you do when you could be a regular life-hating teen!?
Just remember that it gets better, and whoever called high school the golden years needs a reality check!.
As for the voices in your head; they could be a symptom of schitzophrenia!. I'd start with that and the suicidal thoughts as soon as you see a therapist!. Whatever you do, please don't act on any of those thoughts! When I used to get down like that, I would think about my life 3-6 months ago!. Was your life different then!? Guarantee the answer's yes!. Even if it's something small, like who you talked to on the phone more than now!. Your thought process at the time may have been different!. So wait it out and see how the next 3-6 months will be!. You already know it'll be different than now!.
I hope this helps!. You're not alone!. I'm 25 and still struggle with depression and mostly my eating disorder!. I know how it feels to have your life seemingly crumble apart, but nothing's permanent!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
