Am I the asshole for calling my sister out on faking her depression?

(A/n): Warning mental illness!
(Elena sibling reader)

I, 16 female/male/enby, was released from a mental hospital after being diagnosed with schizophrenia. After my release, my parents died in a car accident.

My older sister Elena was in the backseat and miraculously survived. Unfortunately ever since then she's been acting depressed. I thought her depression was strange since all she did was lock herself in her room. She ate normally, but she talked less so I assumed that her depression was just a little different then the ones I was used to. Nevertheless I tried to help where I could, but with our previously strained relationship there wasn't much that I could do.

Then my aunt Jenna, who had become our temporary legal guardian, had come up with a plan. She would take Elena out for a girls day and I would hang back and clean up her room which we assumed was her depression pit since she started spending a lot of time up there so it had to be quite messy.

I agreed and we set the plan in motion. When Elena and aunt Jenna left I immediately set to work, only to be surprise that her room was spotless. I shrugged it off and dusted and vacuumed. I went to change the sheets only to be startled when a book fell out.

I picked it up and looked at the title "The translated version of; Mina, Dracula's last bride" . I thought that it was strange for Elena to have this book because she hated anything horror related. I stupidly came to the realization that this was a romance novel and eagerly went to read it.

In the mental hospital the only thing to do was read or play cards. So I developed a love for reading.

Unfortunately it wasn't a romance novel, but actually her diary! Before I could stop myself from reading it I was zoned out. I sat in shock as I read Elena confessing to faking her depression and how hard it was, but so worth it thanks to all the attention she apparently 'stole' from me.

I was livid. I know first hand about the struggles of mental illness and my own sister wanted to play pretend for some attention?!

When Elena and aunt Jenna came home, I immediately confronted her on my findings and she blew up on me and called me an asshole for reading her diary. I shot back at her that she was an asshole for faking a serious mental illness.

Now that I've cooled down I'm starting to wonder.....who is really the asshole here?
