My girlfriend (25F) told me (29M) I make her want to put a bullet in her head.

My girlfriend has been sick for a few days. Yesterday she woke up around 3am to vomit and I called out of work to stay home and look after her. I convinced her to at least let me to take her to an urgent care for fluids because she looked pale and was weak. Right when they opened I made a call to see if we could get an early morning appointment to avoid the wait times and around the same time she decided to call her mom to see what she thought.

I started giving the receptionist her information but I gave them my phone number in case she was too sick to look at her phone. I didn’t realize she had been to that particular urgent care before and they would’ve been able to pull up her information with her number. She quickly became frustrated between trying to correct me and listen to her mom’s advice and loudly stated that I make her want to put a bullet in her head.

We ended up at the ER because the urgent care couldn’t give fluids and were there for almost 9 hours. She’s feeling much better today but I called out of work again to make sure she was taken care of.

I realize she was overwhelmed in the moment and didn’t feel well so I haven’t said anything or acted any sort of way but it’s really bothering me. I’m not sure if I should bring it up to her and tell her it bothered me. I try to let the small stuff go but honestly that hurt to hear. I don’t think it was a legitimate threat, but I don’t know how appropriate it is to ask if she needs mental health help due to the circumstances and her never saying something like this to me before.

TL;DR My girlfriend was overwhelmed and not feeling well, got upset I gave the medical receptionist my phone number instead of hers, and said I made her want to put a bullet in her head.
