It is really scary the first time; opening up and telling someone.
But you are doing the right thing; you really are.
It isnt a weakness or letting anyone down..its being strong enough to admit you need a little bit of help right now.
i hope they are nice and they can offer you some support/help.
It sometimes helps if you write down what you want to say...just in case yo ufind it too difficult to say it out loud. You can either just read from the note, or hand it over for them to read.
Try to be as honest as possible, the more they know, the better they can help.
Do you have a human resources worker at your work? They are there to help with this sort of thing; from time off, to support at work, to shift changes, etc.
I understand you are scared of your mom finding out...but honestly? It can be a relief to not have to hide everything anymore...to feel all alone with it all.
Let us know how it goes ok??
good luck!
