Yesterday i was depressed, my mother asked me to tell her.

When i told her , she got mad and lectured me whole night, called me weak for crying and to not cry because i will appear weak to others and that i am doing it just to harass her. I mean why ask me to tell her if she can't deal with it.

She only cares about what others think about us, doesn't care about what i am going through.

Later she told me to solve my problems myself and to not bother her.

Seek professional help and trust me, It Is NOT in here.
Your mom seems to have her own problems.
Sounds like she is ate up with self importance. That is an awful burden to be trapped under. I pitty her, she will never see it.

Depression is so senseless, it’s a self inflicted state of mind.
Life is waiting for you to get out and get some.

@Iamnaked yes i am going to psychriatrist, she didn't stop me, gives me money to get counselling and medicines all that. She thinks depression is shameful and i am being sensitive. She can't or don't want to see my struggles.

@sahi81 can’t or won’t see your struggles.
Sounds like you want her to see them. That is a waste of your power.
You own them, deal with them.
You’ve got to stand on your own two feet.
You don’t need her, a bottomless pit of emotional need and despair.
