Answers:

Myopia usually increased through first 2 decades of life but it become stable about the 3rd decade.Your increasing myopia in 2 months(if it was really true depending your examinations) is somewhat unusual. Some types of corneal ectasia such as keratoconus could be mild and present with increasing myopia. An accurate exam and doing a corneal topography or orbscan can demonstrate such conditions. Refractive surgeries by excimer laser do not recommend in such conditions and in unstable myopia. You should have a stable amount of myopia in 12 months before doing laser.
