This is on mobile so sorry for formatting. 

I'm a junior at my university and I live with a roommate in an apartment provided by our school just across the street. We have lived together since August. We don't talk much at all but so far we've gotten along just fine with no issues that I'm aware of (i.e. If he asks me to do something I'll generally do it within a reasonable time frame and vice versa).

I have depression and this past week has been difficult as some of my classes have been busy. Consequently I've been zapped of energy and have had a hard time keeping up with life. 

Earlier this week my roommate asked me to take out the recycling later and I said not a problem and I'd do it. However I never did it, either because I was busy doing school stuff or I procrastinated on it. Last night he posted a sticky note on my door asking again if I could take out the recycling and also the trash later. I noticed this rather late and told myself I'd do it in the morning since I don't have school on Saturday. 

I slept in quite a bit (another consequence of depression), and woke up to my roommate at around ten to eleven knocking on my door. I was still in my underwear, dazed, and overall not in a mood to answer the door. I'd figure after a couple of knocks he'd back off and assume I wasn't home and would leave a note or something. 

He was relentless and knocked (I counted) around 33 times in the span of a few minutes. Each knock was louder and more forceful than the last one; this almost frightened me and if anything lowered the chances of me answering. By the last few knocks he was basically slamming on the door. 

He brought his girlfriend over, since she lives nearby and she helps him write a note which they slipped under my door (I'm still in bed, frightened to do anything at this point). The note said that if I don't carry my own weight he'd contact the housing department. They also took the trash and set it outside the door to my room so that when I'd open the door it'd be right there. 

After they left, I did what I should have done a long time ago and took out the trash. On my way out I noticed that on that same sticky note from last night he scribbled out "later" and put in "today". 

When I got back, I sat at my desk and wrote a note back to him. I told him I admitted fault for being a bad roommate and that I'd start contributing more. However the knocking resonated in my head and got the better of me. I also wrote firmly that the knocking was rude and disrespectful as it awoke me and probably other units in the complex due to how loud it might have been and how persistent it was. I wrote that if I don't answer after a few knocks he should let it go and that he should leave a note, email, or a text. I finished the note by saying if it happened again I'd be contacting the housing coordinator, stating that what he did felt like harassment. 

As a P. S., I left him my schedule and wrote that I'd be willing to chat with him if we were both home. 

I taped the note on his door (during this entire time he was out of the house) and at the time of writing this he has not come back. 

So I admit that I was not taking care of the chores as I should and that can be considered assholeish  and I own up to it. But am I an asshole for my response to what happened this morning?
