How do you tell someone, such as a motherly figure (not really your mother), like a really good adult friend, how takes things very seriously, that you might be depressed, and you cut, and you want to well...commit suicide...
I don't want her to tell my parents, and freak out! So how would you go about telling someone that kinda of information? like through a letter, and how would you being it up? (link)

This is a hard one. What I do know, however, is that you will break the vicious circle of repetitions in this behavior if you just tell her. Now, for how to do so...
Just get her in person, and tell her that you're dealing with something serious, and that you trust her. Start off clearly that you don't want your parents to know, yet. Ask her if she will try to help you, first. I'd recommend, first, to tell her about the thoughts behind it, so that, when she does see your injuries, or in this case, hear about them, she is now in the phsyche to be prepared. If she is incredibly far away, a letter would be valid. Otherwise, I'd just let it out in person, so that she can see how serious you are about having her help you. Then, I'd immediately call a hotline of some sort, or look in the phone book for diagnosis/counseling for depression. It IS a phsycological disorder. Don't blame yourself.
If you're afraid that she will freak out, call her first, and ask her, if you were to send her a letter revealing something very serious about you, what her reaction may be, and if you could trust her.
There are plenty of scar medications out there, too.
The best helper in this kind of thing is God. I don't know if you know Him, but I'll tell you one thing, his love his enough to stop any compulsion or destructive behavior, and bring you back with grace.
