So one of my roommates wants help organizing one of the rooms in the apartment. It is her extra room that is for making online content. It’s mostly sitting and moving stuff like her makeup around and figuring out where to put it.

I’ve told her that I don’t mind helping and that I will help, but most times I end up feeling unwell when it is time to do it. I hate that I feel this way but I can’t help it.

Yesterday she told me that I always let her down and I’m never there when she needs me. She also said that I dip whenever there is work to do and basically made me feel like I use my condition as an excuse not to do chores when I’ve been working really hard to help keep the house clean and nice after she and my other roommates have told me they need me to do more.

I’m really hurt because I have been working really hard for the house, even as my condition gets worse. I go to school Monday to Friday and when I get home I try to put any clean dishes away if there are any. Once a week I either have to clean the bathroom or vacuum the carpet, and I have been doing them interchangeably throughout the weeks in a month. I’ve been sweeping the whole house other than bedrooms. I’ve helped feed all the cats (there are 6) and I have even given the diabetic cat his insulin shot quite a few times.

I just don’t know what to do. I’ve been working SO hard despite everything. I have been making myself worse and still been positive despite it all. And then to have her just say I’m a let down and I never help… I’ve felt so horrible that at one point I had to take one of my clonazepam to calm down enough to sleep last night because I was crying and feeling so much emotionally that it was making the pain worse.
