Do I seem attention seeking?

Question

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?

Answer

I'm sure there's more to this story and it sounds like he's over it 🤷‍♀️

Answer

He made that comment because he doesn't care about you or there's a lot more to this entire story.

Answer

If he made that comment then you must be doing something constantly that makes him believe that.

Answer

Sounds like hes not mature enough or invested in the relationship enough to care about your feelings and mental health. Doesn’t sound like a very loving relationship to me tbh

Answer

Not at all. To me, it seemed like all you wanted was some comfort after having your panic attack.

I'm going to level with you here....
Panic disorder is absolutley a real thing and it can be paralyzing. I suffer from it myself...sometimes it's overwhelming other times it just bothersome but it's always there under the surface....so I get it.
That being said, as hard as it is for you to deal with, others on the outside can find it positively insufferable. The constant rips of panic coming out of almost nowhere, the need to change plans and directions, the constant complaints or restrictions that are put into place becuase "you just cant". It's hard for them to understand and deal with. Even as someone with anxiety...I can see their point. 
I think you should do what you must to overcome the issue. I know...I know...easier said than done but trust me when I tell you, it will benefit you immensely. Most people are not sympathetic, not understanding and will poke fun at you every chance they get. None of us make the rules, but since we live in this society we all have to play by them. Do you want the reputation that is beginning to precede you? A flake? A phony? An attention seeker? My best guess is no....so do what u have to to fix it. 
For me, after a lifetime of abuse, body issues, eating disorders, the list goes on and on....I made a commitment to change. To adapt. I entered into therapy; talking and exposure. I FORCED myself to deal with the issues head on. It sucked. It took about a year of misery, but it worked. I changed. I took control. My life is 1000 times better for it and now, with the tools in hand, I can live freely. 
I suggest you do the same. Be firm with yourself. Demand better out of yourself. Get a handle on it. Go forth and live fully with it behind you. You can do it. Best of luck. ❤

Answer

It depends....were you freaking out demanding he drop everything to rescue you, or you were willing to wait a bit or have him on the phone? Is panicking and expecting him to rescue you a recurring thing in your relationship? It sounds like he may not understand anxiety, but if your anxiety translates to codependency in your relationship, he may be undrrstandably setting boundaires

Answer

Sounds like you need to leave his ass. Regardless of if there’s “more to the story,” no decent man would leave his partner in the hospital like that. My boyfriend would literally walk to the hospital if it was the only way to ensure I got him safe. You need someone who understands your mental health and doesn’t belittle you for it. You’re better off single than with him.
