Is it normal that my boyfriend got mad when I didn’t answer the phone?

Anonymous
He called at 8am when I was on the way to work and I said I can’t talk and I’d call him after work.

He’s in a needy state lately because he fainted and got injured a few weeks ago. Last week he called me on the way to work and was sobbing about a mean dentist secretary. I can’t take drama right before work because it stresses me out and there’s nothing I can do.

After work, I called him and he was upset and interrogated me about why I wouldn’t answer earlier. He demanded I apologize and when I did, he got mad saying it wasn’t sincere enough and it took 3 tries and 45 minutes later to get him to quit being dramatic and hostile.

This definitely isn’t the first time he’s gotten mad when I don’t answer. Is this normal?

he said he was upset because he was having an anxiety attack on the way to work and my voice would have cheered him up. It’s annoying because then I feel drained after and he feels better.

he’s an emotionally intensely person so every emotion is like a tsunami. He’s being tested for epilepsy so he’s super emotional lately
