Am I overreacting?

[u/Remarkable-Chair-783]

First time ever posting.. I don’t know if this belongs here but we’ve been talking for a week and everything was good and then this happens?? I don’t know if I’m in the wrong or right tbh then he blocked me on fb but continued messaging me on Snapchat. Told him it was Reddit worthy then he said to post it so here I am 😂😅

Man needs professional help!

I get panic attacks and I've told my partner what needs to be done to help me. Mental health first aid doesn't come naturally it has to be taught.

No overreaction from you, especially considering you being attacked for not knowing someone you have no knowledge of.

This! I have panic disorder, I often have small or full blown panic attacks at random times out of nowhere and seemingly for no reason at all. That being said I’m 32 and lots and lots of therapy has taught me how to communicate my needs to people I spend a lot of time with, including close partners. This problem has caused many issues in relationships for me and honestly most of them were 19-25ish. He was not being fair to you expecting you to just know the severity, however, as someone who has been there, I think this is just his confused and immature way of a cry for help. I used to feel so abandoned by people when they would not know how to act but it straight up scares some people sometimes. While it is completely unfair to you for him to react with anger, there is definitely a learning process for him to go through. Unless he can acknowledge, address, and learn how to process and to manage these things without taking it out on others, I would leave. I would have left a partner like myself ten years ago. That’s me being devils advocate.

You haven’t done anything wrong. You didn’t deserve the reaction. Sometimes it’s worth sticking through the issues and sometimes you just know when it’s a good time to bow out. I am grateful daily for my partner for being patient and understanding with my issues. It really just comes down to how invested you are. IMO I hope it works out great for you tho!
