However, if you tell them, they'll be overwhelmed that you could feel so bad and so alone and they will want to help.

Yeah...getting help is though on it's own for many. I remember the first 3 years of depression I refused to go to a doctor or therapist even if I knew I reeally needed it.
My suggestion is that you take help from a friend in seeking proffessional help. In the end it will be you going there but having someone you trust know this and can ask you about it and in general emotionally support you can be the extra push you need. But ofc that requires a friend you trust and can handle it... :/
Anyway.. it took me 6-8 years before I REALLY got proffesional help. Hope that won't happen to you...or already has. Hang in there..
