Re: Not sure how to tell doctor i self harm?! -

Like it was said, as long as you're of age, they shouldn't disclose any of your information to your family. I'm in the US as well, and for us, that's eighteen. I actually told my doctor about self-harm and suicidal thoughts yesterday because it has to do with my pain management treatment, but she didn't tell my mom because I'm already in treatment for mental health.
I think you can tell her verbally, and explain that you're trying to stop self-harming at the moment. If you won't want to tell her verbally, maybe she has some contact information out there and you can call her or email her? You can also write a note and give it to her which will allow her to start the conversation, because I know starting the conversation can be hard.
Do keep us updated on this! 
If clarity's in death, then why won't this die?
Years of tearing down our banners, you and I
Living for the thrill of hitting you where it hurts
Give me back my girlhood, it was mine first
The axe forgets, but the tree remembers
