I'm... gaslighting? Seriously? It was very obvious to me based on your own words that is exactly what he meant. I am actually shocked that you didn't realize that even though that is exactly what you said he said in the first few sentences of the 2nd paragraph of your Op.
I even told you that in my post on the third page. Sorry, I can't quote on my phone as I don't know how to highlight.
I think was very very clear from the beginning that it was a theoretical possibility. I honestly feel worried for him. He did exactly what he should have done. Reach out before things get to that point. That is a huge deal, an ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure.
He was using healthy coping skills. The bath, alone time, telling you ahead of time that things could easily get bad for him, so that you could help him prevent it are all things that a therapist would tell him to do.
Not only did you handle a situation where you should have been proud of him for how he was handling his stress levels, you turn around and accuse him of gaslighting!? That is pretty f*cked up.
No, he is not gaslighting you. That is a very serious accusation to make and makes me concerned for his well being.
What is he going to do next time he is in that place where he is trying to get help before things get bad, because it doesn't seem like he can or should trust you not to over react or complain about what he needs to do to manage his symptoms.
My phone auto corrected Ummm into I'm.
