My reputation is gone, likely my job too. I have truly never felt more miserable, worthless, and horrified.

You did eventually come clean. You haven't lost your job yet.

If management confronts you, you can apologize to them too and perhaps the person in management handling it will be understanding. Whether or not you get fired might also depend on how well you do your job and how much they need you to get the work done.
We have all made mistakes.
