I'm struggling right now

I have depression, my mom knows, I was recently diagnosed, but she didn't change the way she treats me at all. Anyway. She asked me to wash the dishes since yesterday or the day before. I didn't. Because I can't. I don't have the power to. She doesn't care though. Both my parents have always been like that. I don't know how to tell her I can't do the dishes and that I want to ask her if she could do them. I almost never before have asked her to do anything for me and I'm unsure how to make her understand.
Can someone please help?

@SW-User No, I was raised in such a way that I can't stand to let them see me cry ever and I always feel the need to appear strong before them, I also hate having them pity me

@Mary21 Jesus so you were never allowed to cry ? Your parents sound like dicks best advice i can give you is to call a depression helpline they will listen to and advise you what to do for the best you could also see you Dr and talk to him/her in confidence wish i could help you more but good luck hope things get better for you

@SW-User Haha, all I wanted was advice on how to bring up the problem to my mom, I get what you're saying, but I'm not ready to support myself financially if they kick me out of the house or anything, I depend on them

@SW-User I live in romania and I don't feel safe calling those lines, I've never done it before.
Also my dad is a very strict person.
I once tried to go to the school psychiatrist without my parents knowing in like 8th grade, all I did was cry the whole time I was there and then never went back again, not to that lady, nor anybody else
