Eej Blue,
Telling your family is one tough thing to do. Each human individual is different, so each individual will react different to a confession like yours. But your family loves you, and I believe they will understand you. Of course, it can be a shock, but I am sure you will feel better afterwards, and that is what matters. And your family, especially your mom, can be a great support.
From personal experience I can tell you, as soon as you realizes that you are depressed, you can start to heal. Support from people you know will katalyse this proces.
I don't know you and I don't know your family, but my advise is just to let go of all those negative thoughts and tell them.
All the best!
