I suffer from generalised anxiety. I was in the bathroom, I heard an extremely loud bang, 10 minutes I went out to the area I heard it from and I smelt rotten eggs in a few rooms. I immediately start searching but couldn’t find the source as the smell was so strong so I suspected a gas leak, I opened the door to ventilate the room.

Told my bf and he could smell it too, My head was hurting by then. I messaged my bro who has dealt with gas leaks and he told me to switch off the gas so I went to find the gas meter and couldn’t find it, but told my bf and his roommates to leave the house. 

They didn’t leave and didn’t take the situation seriously by laughing and joking, my bf and I got into an argument and his friends sided with him, so I got more anxious and angry as they sat indoors and used electronics even though there may be a potential gas leak. I even got made fun of a little bit by them. They found rotten chicken in the kitchen at the bottom of the bin that had the sulphur/rotten egg smell and assumed it was the cause of smell, even I thought it may be that too so I felt bad that it was stress over nothing. My bf and I went to our room and I cried because I look foolish and I caused an issue for everyone. An hour later someone was sent here and confirmed it was nothing. 

I feel awful for causing a commotion and might have a bill on the way from the guy who checked for the leak. Is there anyway I can make it up for everyone? I cried from stress that there may be a bill and told my bf I would pay for the costs since he is saving money for studies (he is struggling financial because of this) and he is even more annoyed by my stress now.

Thank you’s for reading, I would appreciate your thoughts. :(
