Are you getting any help from counsellors or therapists?

No, im going to though, I tried about 2 years ago but its really hard to get hold of one I was waiting for months and still didn't hear anything.

A counsellor is a good idea definitely. The doctor could probably help as well.

What can she say that will help me though? Ive read about CBT and getting into a routine for years, does actually speaking make a big difference?
Also I can't help being annoyed at my mum but I don't want to be, I can't like cry in front of her or anything its ridiculous at my age I always go to my room for self pity sessions lol. There is no way I can get through to her how bad this is without attention seeking or something and if I do that it will be like im making the whole thing up. It doesn't help that I have the maturity of a 14 year old but im trying to change that.

I find that my old one often showed situations to me, and opened up my mind to situations so I could often change how I saw things. I've only had one session with this new lady so I have no idea yet, but she did ask me how I thought she could help me.
I don't think it's really possible to change your maturity on the spot, because you'll be trying to be someone you're not. It'll change when it does, most likely without you noticing it at first.

Was that for anxiety, are you a lot better now? Thats a really tough question asking you how you thought she could help lol, I would have no idea!

I'm not exactly sure what it was, but it was some kind of anxiety/depression/exhaustion. I've always been really bad with it but was able to cope. When I started seeing her I was such a wreck I couldn't do any college work at all for a week. I told her I wanted her to help me with getting some of the stress and anxiety out of my head. I still get bouts occasionally but even in the first session she did help a lot.

Well at least you sound a lot better, I just wish I was one of them strong people who never get like this and think that the people like me are attention seeking. Guess its just built in.
