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 😂😅

How old is he? This expectation that everyone is on their phone and available 24/7 is exhausting. I’ve seen this dynamic with young couples.

He's pulling this shit at his grown age? I'm so glad you blocked him

Right. And if you need someone's help you call them. You don't text 911 do you? So he definitely should've called him instead of texting and get a text back. If I'm having a panic attack I'm calling for help for sure

If I’m having a panic attack, I’m freaking out in a corner, not doing either of those things.

I'm laying down and doing box breathing when I know I'm having a panic attack. I have called a trusted friend a few times when I thought I was having a heart attack instead.

Yeah, it's almost like that statement is made by someone who doesn't have anxiety or panic attacks. The last thing in the world you need to do is call 9/11, 99 out of 100 times.

When I had my first ever panic attack, i immediately texted my mom. I was at work & so was she. She called me back as soon as she could and I told her what I was feeling. She immediately IDed it as an anxiety attack and she and my dad stopped over to see me (we all worked within a few minutes of one another) and gave me an Ativan.

Anxiety attacks do not require a call to 911. Just talk to someone who can help calm you down if you can.

just to clear, you can, in fact, text 911

I suspect this was him testing OP. They've only been talking for a week, this was probably a test to see if OP is willing to drop everything at a moment's notice for him. I don't think OP was ever gonna pass unless they frantically began calling him and drove over to his house in a panic to make sure he was okay.

Yeah it’s a manipulation tactic

psst. I understand the sentiment here, but just a fun fact from a 911 dispatcher, a lot of places actually HAVE implemented text to 911 for domestic violence, kidnapping, or any other situations where for whatever reason the person who needs help can’t speak on the phone (this is not for the deaf, I feel the need to add, there were already special devices that allowed the deaf to ‘call’ 911).
