How to tell family I am suffering from serious depression?

I do not know how to tell my dad and my older brothers that I am suffering from serious depression. I feel like shooting myself. My inner world is full of negative thoughts. I dont know how I can run away from them and can attain mental peace. My life is being destroyed because of this and I can not perform any day to day tasks. In our society, it is very difficult to share your personal feelings with parents. I need treatment but I dont know how to approach my dad and siblings for this. Thanks for any suggestions.
