14 year old with anger issues/talking about self harm

My 14 year old recently got dumped by his girlfriend of a year and since then he has gone off the rails. He's talked about self harm and voices telling him to harm himself.
I've taken him to the doctors and they said he is going through a major life event and he should get through it eventually, they have referred him to CAMHS but that could take months to get him help. I've got a counsellor to talk to him at school and she said he has to concentrate on making himself happy to the extent that he does what he likes with little or no concern to leaving the house in a mess, being rude and ignorant and also shouting and being abusive to me. I'm at my wits end and don't know what to do. Advice really needed urgentlynne.
