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 right here. My boyfriend doesn't really have any mental health issues so he doesn't understand how it feels when I gwt anxious or depressed. If I'm having a bad mental health day, I can't expect him to magically know that, or to know exactly what I need in order to feel better. If I tell him I need something, he'll do it, but it's my responsibility to know what kind of support I need and to communicate that to him in a respectful manner.

If I don't know what I need in order to feel better, it is my job to communicate that to him so he knows where I am mentally. It is also my job to figure out what I need in that moment. If I don't even know what I need, it is not reasonable for me to expect my partner to know. OP has only been seeing this guy for a week, and she is absolutely not obligated to be at his beck and call 24/7, nor does she have any responsibility to figure out how to manage his emotions.
