I (16 F) am currently experiencing nasty withdrawal from a medication i took for three months before abruptly stopping the medication. My symptoms include extreme lightheadedness, dizziness, fever, weakness, nausea/constant vomiting etc. safe to say I’m not doing well. I just got back from a doctors appointment where they did an EKG and checked my vitals in three positions as well as getting my blood drawn into ten vials so they can tell what I’m deficient in after i fasted for a whole day because i also have severe ARFID. When i got home the first thing i did was eat a poptart which i promptly threw up anyways because my stomach is so used to not having food that it rejects food i give to it. I went upstairs to go clean myself up and my sister entered the bathroom to put some towels away. She told me she had a friend coming over which i was fine with as long as they let me rest, she told me i needed to clean up my nail supplies and take out the trash. I was fine with cleaning my nail stuff up but the trash request pissed me off for two reasons.
-
My sister always makes me take out our bathroom trash. When she does do it she does not even put a trashbag in the trash can so you can always tell when i did it last and there is currently a trashbag in the can
-
Im going through withdrawal and im supposed to be laying down according to my doctors because if i move around too much there is a high chance of me fainting and hitting my head on something.
I told her no: i would not be taking out the trash but i would take my nail supplies out of the bathroom and i went to go lat down in my bed. My sister started yelling at me telling me i had to do the trash because it was a shared responsibility and to promise her i would do the trash. I told her i would if i could but i could not make any promises because i did not know how i would be feeling at the time i would have to take the trash out. She started yelling at me again and my dad asked what was going on after hearing her. She told him i would not bring the trash out. Since he was there at my hospital visit he told her i needed to rest. She accused him of jumping in to defend me when nobody even knew what was going on with me. I snapped at that point and yelled that i was going through fucking withdrawal and she responded screaming she didn’t care. AITA?

OP has offered the following explanation for why they think they might be the asshole:
> I think the yelling and me not pulling my weight was wrong. I should be helping out, withdrawal is no excuse to be a deadweight.

NTA. We all fall sick. Siblings are supposed to support you at the tough points of time.
NTA she’s acting bratty asf
NTA but your sister sounds like she’d trip over your unconscious body just to throw a tantrum about the trash bag.
nta, you’re going through a lot with your health and a professional told you to get some rest. your sister can throw the trash out on her own. she also needs to learn what empathy is. hope you feel better soon !
ESH maybe …
INFO – do you always do your share usually?
Why did you quit cold turkey off a med? Was this doctor-advised (doubtful)? In your sister’s mind, would she say you were ‘needy’ a lot with being unable to do stuff or carry your own weight?
She should help you out when you’re sick, but good will goes away when she’s having to cover for you more often than not.
INFO: Why did you suddenly stop taking the medication – was that on the instructions of your doctor?
