I am currently:

as others have said. doctors cannot break confidentiality laws.
if you're a minor they can tell your mum only if they think you are a severe and immediate danger to yourself or others. if you're not they can't tell anyone and would section you if they thought that.
if i were you i'd make an appointment with your doctor, write the letter and say something like 'i found this hard to put into words/ i knew i wouldnt be able to explain properly' and just give it them.

include:
how long its been going on for-SI and low feelings
changes in eating + sleeping patterns
causes you can think of
what you'd like to happen in terms of support

not sure if i missed anything.
good luck!
PM me anytime
