Does it matter if my teacher ( or counselors) know about my depression

So I’m in grade 11 this year and doing online school. This is my second class now and my first one was a little rocky (let’s just say I got a 65 and now I feel like I’m doomed to end up panhandling on the street). I can feel myself starting to go into a low again. I’m isolating more and more, my motivation is gone, I forget stuff easily and my head feels foggy, all and all I feel down and a little hopeless. I was seeing a therapist (long story short I have to find a new one). My mom already knows about my depression (although she doesn’t really understand), but that’s about all who knows. I’ve never said anything like this to anyone at school (probably since I also struggle with social anxiety and asking for help) but I’m wondering if I should tell my teacher (or counselor), or would it just not make a difference. Also if I did tell them what should I say? How would they react? What if they make a big deal or they don’t know how to react? Any and all tips or advice is appreciated, thank you for listening.
