How do they deal with your anxiety issues like panic attacks and random bursts of crying and so on (or whichever signs of anxiety you experience)?

Honestly, there have been a few times where my bf has told me its all in my head and every time i had an episode of crying (where i didnt know why but i just had this sense of doom and anxiety ) he would keep asking me why why why and how is it possible that i dont know, that clearly is stupid and pointless that i cry in that case. He also once said that maybe i havent gone through enough in life, if i cry and dont know why and that my life is great and i have nothing to be anxious about.
He is also against me taking ssri (which i do and very low dose at that) but im not stopping just because he doesnt believe in it.
I never really explicitly told him that i have anxiety unless he asked me how i feel, and even then a lot of times i just said im good. But when i did, i got into this questioning and its honestly exhausted to the point where i decided to stop telling him about it all together and deal with it by myself like im used to.
We had discussions about it many times and he says this is his way of trying to help, but i said this is the opposite of help for me

To give a bit more context: i had severe anxiety issues since i can remember. I grew up in an abusive household, worried about both my parents lives, there was threats with objects and so on, constant fighting and alcohol involved (parents). Then 2 years ago i burned out grom everything family and work related and was not functioning for 1 year so i decided to go on a low dose of prozac which clearly helps. But i still have seasons of huge anxiety that im learning to deal with. Im much better now than i was and it just makes me sad that he just doesnt understand. Not saying he has to but i just wish my bf would just be there for me in those cases. Like a hug and thats it, i dont need anything else cause i know it will pass eventually..

So im wondering. Anyone else with similar issues? I feel like a burden right now..
