Do I seem attention seeking?
I just started antidepressants and my boyfriend always hate it when I feel low. So I normally go to my best friend for help or my other friends. I was at work today in the hospital and I had the worst panic attack.
I got tingles all over, chest pain, and couldn’t open my jaw. I was shaking and felt like I was going to faint. The nurses checked my blood pressure, it was 152/100 and my heart rate went over 130.
They sent me to ED to get checked out but it was a long wait so I thought I wanted to get home and take the benzo my doctor prescribed me.
My friends were all busy when I tried to call them to help me get home, so I asked my boyfriend if he could make sure I get home safe. He wanted me to stay in ED but honestly being there just made it worse because it was very busy. Then he said, “Sometimes I feel like you’re attention seeking. I’m cooking so I can’t help you. Can’t you get your other friends?”
I said that was mean I just wanted to get home safe and apologised for bothering him. He hung up on me. Did I really seem like I was attention seeking?
