I don't know ur room mates to know what is going on in their head but maybe they just don't want you to over due things rightnow or they could just be a little upset that since u were away they had to do the cleaning with out u. I would try talking to them about it. If they are not in a good mood right now maybe give them a little to cool down. Could u start cleaning the bathroom or another room? Just so u did show u wanted to help!

Maybe they don't really understand depression (which is common). So they're not really sure how to act around you.

Or maybe they'd already decided who was going to wash the dishes. Sometimes we get a little oversensitive, do you think maybe you misunderstood where they were coming from?

If you have a generally good relationship with them, why not just tell them that you feel fine, and you want to help out? Or maybe you could do something different, like order pizza for everybody and tell them you wanted to treat them, since they did the cleaning?

I've tried telling them I'm okay and that I can do household stuff. It was planned last night that I would do half the dishes and my gf would do the other half. I can't treat them to anything because I don't have any cash. We used to be close...but ever since I was discharged and separated from the Navy, they've treated me differently.

Maybe it's not as if you are broken, but more like they care. They want you to relax and hang out, It's not a bad thing, at least they care enough to think of you.

Here's a way to work it back in, (if you like) make cookies or a cake and then present it, it may be a nice ice breaker, and sweets always make people smile, it will, also, without them knowing, show them that you are able to do things, and hopefully a nice discussion will ensue.

Best of luck, when my daughter came out, we went for waffles, and just talked... she said it was cool.

I think they just care for you and don't want you to feel overwhelmed. The next time a chore needs to be done you should try to join in to show them you can handle it.
