I told my friend that I am afraid I might have anxiety or depression and he did what I feared. He mocked me. He made a joke of it and I trusted him. I’ve known him for almost 9 years now. It hurts like hell, he’s one of the three people who I told and he made me lost trust in everyone now.

Was it like actual serious mocking? Or did it feel like it was more intended to try to make the conversation lighter? I would recommend maybe giving them a bit of time, and possibly trying to talk to them about it again…. Maybe let them know that the mocking bothered you. Some people are not exactly comfortable with this sort of thing and may react poorly at first.
It did not seem like it was to make the conversation lighter. I rather not talk about it again cause I feel like I’m just an attention seeker.
I doubt that you’re only seeking attention…. And anyway even if you were to that still isn’t horrible…. If somebody does have to seek attention like that then they probably are not in the best place mentally either…. Your feelings are valid…. You should be able to talk about them if you want to without feeling bad about it.
No matter how nice a person is, many people don’t take anxiety and depression seriously, or even understand it. So I don’t think you should hold it against him. Most likely he doesn’t know how seriously it affects you, or that it can even seriously affect anyone.
That’s true.
