It's like this- She's already seeking counciling. She's already on antidepressants.
Yet she cuts herself and finds no value to her life.
Those things obviously aren't helping.
Mom can get her the help she needs and deserves.
Yah, she'll likely be mad at you, but at this point, does that matter?
If I were in your situation, would I be making that phone call? You bet. In a heartbeat.

If she's suicidal and cutting herself, there's probably more wrong with her than liking this boy. Depression's a pretty serious disorder/ whatever you want to call it, and it's pretty tough to handle all on her own.
There may be a risk that admitting herself to be suicidal would result in her being hospitalized. Basically, they monitor people who actually could kill themselves until they feel a bit better. Yes, it would suck if she got "locked up" like this, but this would only be in extreme cases. Tell her that you love her so much, and that isn't some sort of hospitalization better than having her dead?
If anything, encourage her to find some suicide hotlines to call whenever she's feeling particularly down. These people can't "lock you up" and everything is anonymous. Here's a site I found on a quick google search:
Otherwise, all you can do is be her friend, listen to her problems, and hang in there. Often, these sorts of problems take a while to solve, but this does not mean that they are incurable.
