Delicate situation- not sure how to proceed.
Last year I became very sick and spent a huge amount of time either on bedrest or physically unable to walk. I really let the house get into a state, and my landlady knew (probably from entering my home without permission), that it was a wreck. Now she's allegedly emailed my mother (my mother is a notorious liar) about it. Unfortunately, the other day, I was on drugs (oxy for my back), and went outside. I opened my door to an irate landlady telling me I'd made a mistake with the garbage barrels (I hadn't, she has severe ocd). Meanwhile, I'd just stood up from the couch- and my heart condition makes me very dizzy upon standing. Combined with the oxy I was swaying and almost blacked out- so naturally she assumed I was on some illicit substance. I didn't know what to say to her so I just never explained- this was last week. Now I feel I should. I've gotten the house tidied but she's obviously just unhappy in general with me so I'd like advice on how to smooth it over.

You are on a narcotic. You're dealing with a medical condition. Why are you worried? Are you having trouble with the opiates, like dependance?

Did you read the entire OP? My landlady upset because she thinks I am on drugs and messy, when in actuality I am on drugs and messy because I have 4 severe medical conditions. I don't know how to talk to her about it. This isn't about whether I'm legally/morally in the wrong, I need to improve my relationship with her.

Landlady? I thought it was your mom. You can tell her you're on opiates for a condition, or you can tell her nothing. It's your business. She saw you high, unfortunately, and there's not much to do about that. Sorry.

This is what I get for asking a board of drunks/15 year olds/and NEETs for life advice. I'm going to send her a polite email explaining my medical condition. Try reading before you post.

By using the power of words.
"I am severly ill and therefore take opiates as medication". Then send a picture of the oxicodone box and boom. All fine. Add watermark if you wanna be sure that it is clear it is your box.

It's as simple as clearing the air with "I'm in a bad state and can barely leave my bed, I'm sorry"
