You are experiencing Grief. It is a natural response to loss of a family member. Even if you did not have a happy memories with your mother (which is indeed very sad in itself), we cannot forget that she was after all your mother.
Give yourself the time needed to recuperate from this loss. It is okay right now if you don't want to study or do any other activities.
Eating can be a coping mechanism at this time, and I will not ask you to be to choosy about it, however make sure you do not eat harmful foods or take up smoking or drinking.
Wanting to cry and shout and yell is also normal - please give yourself time to do it.
You may have some unresolved conflicts with your mother - which you are not able to get closure on now that she is no more. How about you write everything down on a paper - everything you ever wanted to tell your mother. Let everything out of your thoughts - and put it outside on paper. You can later destroy it if you do not want to keep it. This might help a lot.

Health Tips
Make sure despite of all the grief and anger, you eat well, do not smoke or drink, and get 6-8 hours of sleep. This is basic for survival. Everything else can happen later.

Hi
You are grieving the loss of your mother and it sounds like you are still in shock. The loss of your mother has caused you to feel a lot of emotions and your mind is filled with a lot of thoughts.
It sounds like you are feeling sad, and anxious. To feel better consult a psychiatrist and explain about your symptoms. A psychiatrist will guide you on whether you will require medication. Also consult a psychologist for counselling sessions. Based on what you have mentioned it sounds like you are going through anxiety and depression. It is tough to lose a parent and you can think of giving yourself space to grieve. Be patient with yourself and gradually work on practicing self-care.
I suggest you consult a psychiatrist and psychologist at the earliest.
Next Steps
Consult a psychiatrist and psychologist.
Health Tips
Contact me for counselling sessions. Along with counselling I can suggest natural foods to calm the mind.

Hi... It is the hardest thing to survive a loss of a loved one, especially mother. No matter what psychosocial relationship both shared together. Death in itself is hard to digest because it shakes the whole foundation of human existence. Human mind tends to fall into that existential quest of trying to answer the very basic questions, like —
Who am I? Why I am here? What is the meaning of all this? If ultimately I can die at any time and everything will be left behind, why am I even struggling to live my daily life? Why not end it now if it is going to happen sooner or later?
It is very natural for human mind to think in this direction and to try to find an answer and it can be a turning point in one's life towards ultimate goals s/he is born to achieve in his life time. But if someone fails to overcome this state of mind, it can also make him/her sick and fall into the domain of disorders/illnesses. Early intervention have the potential to change the course of future events and direction of one's life and at least, it can prevent any further loss (life/academic/social/financial/etc.)
Next Steps
Consult a Psychologist.
Grief Counselling using Existentialist Approach is required.
Do not fall into this trap of self diagnosing yourself with a severe mental health illness. Consult a Psychiatrist at least. They can explain you how it is different from a typical mental illness.

We are really sorry to hear this. It can be extremely difficult to cope with a loss such as this. Grief can bring about a whole range of emotions altogether such as guilt, regret, anger, sadness, shock, among others. Please try to be a little patient and compassionate with yourself as this this can be quite an overwhelming experience. If and when you feel ready to process your emotions, and need support during that process, you can seek help from a mental health professional. Please take care.

Health Tips
Managing the death of someone can be a difficult and emotional experience. Here are some suggestions for how to manage someone's death:
Allow yourself to grieve: It's important to acknowledge your emotions and allow yourself to grieve. Everyone grieves differently, so it's important to give yourself time and space to process your feelings.
Seek support: It can be helpful to lean on family and friends during this difficult time. Talking about your feelings with someone you trust can help you process your grief.
Take care of yourself: Grief can be physically and emotionally exhausting, so it's important to take care of yourself during this time. Try to get enough sleep, eat well, and exercise regularly.
Make practical arrangements: There are many practical arrangements that need to be made when someone dies, such as planning a funeral or memorial service, notifying family and friends, and handling legal matters. It can be helpful to seek the assistance of a professional, such as a funeral director or lawyer, to guide you through this process.
Honor their memory: Finally, consider ways to honor the memory of the person who passed away. This could include creating a memorial, participating in a charity walk or event in their honor, or simply sharing stories and memories with loved ones.
