Definitely not overreacting!
I can see where it comes from, because people who have not had a panic attack/severe anxiety can't fathom how bad it really is. I know before I had any panic attacks I just thought people were being overly sensitive drama queens. But I know better now. Klonopin made it possible for me to leave my house. Maybe you can find a way for this supervisor to connect to a story or casually shared video? They may be ignorant of the internal severity...
But seriously, that makes me super pissed too. If you're going into a line of work like that, you shouldn't be a pig and undermine those kinds of experiences. It's like the classic line for depressed people, "why don't you just get out of bed?" Ha.
