It's hard to say what he will do, I speculate he may as most do who don't know how to deal with mental health issues beyond physical issues is throw some meds at you. But if he's a compassionate doc, he may be able to refer other doctors that have a good reputation with dealing with depressive/suicidal disorders. I know it's scary and glad to see you taking baby steps forward but don't take to long girl. I think you should tell your mom. She'll know one way or another eventually. It would be good to have some one close in the know anyway and to be there for you once they realize the severity of how distraught you are.
Miss D is right though, many people who are in your situation have such a great facade of "it's all okay, I'm okay", that's why we so often hear, "but she seemed so happy"....so make those calls, I'd do it for you if I could girl.
