My friends 22F & 22F don't see my perspective

I (22F), my bf(20M), my cousin (22F), my best friend (22F) and her bf (20M) (is also my family friend), went for a night out a month ago (purpose was distract me who is currently taking someone to court for something that rhymes with zeptual kaselt, and the plea hearing day was that day). We went out had a nice time, drank a bit and did an escape room all together. I was discussing with the girls where we should go out to dance, however it was already 1am and needed to go somewhere close to us, they suggested a place and i agreed to go knowing that it was the only place around us that was open and that had sing along music as they were only into pop music not so much house or techno so i knew they wouldn't be happy if we went anywhere else. For context, the place was the location i went to the night of the incident, where things happened there and escalated later elsewhere, so it wasn't a place i had been to since nor one I wanted to go to, however it had been 2 years and i thought i was strong enough to and my friends wouldn't like anywhere else.

Inside i felt nauseous so we went to the balcony. i couldn't breathe i could feel a panic attack coming, my friends said we'll go dance u come when ur ready (bf stayed).I felt bad so i went inside, then i got flashbacks and i ran out crying screaming full blown ptsd (diagnosed) panic attack. bf followed, besties bf then the girls. I was almost ripping my hair out i couldn't breathe or see. (bf sat with me, ordered an uber he knew i had to leave) my friends came and very un-empathetically asked if i wanted them there,i said no cause i didn't want them to worry and they just walked away (cousin and i are like sisters & my bff 10+). They left and went to get food down the street.

The car arrived bf told me to get in, i did and i said wait my cousin is coming too (she was supposed to stay the night at mine, as she lives far from me). He went back to find them while i got in and they had disappeared, him thinking he cant leave me and has to look after me as his priority got in the car, called my bffs bf, said cousin should come with us and is still welcome to stay at mine and he said yea all good. The driver drove off before we could even wait for the others. We got home, about 15 minutes later the other got to mine too and hardly said a word to me. Cousin stayed on my couch then left without saying a word in the morning, let herself out and left.

No one but my bf spoke to me the next day. I messaged and they all said they were pissed off at me. I asked why, they said because i left them there. They were safe, bffs bf was there and we tried to bring them but they went to get food while i was having a panic attack from ptsd. They are still mad at me now and can't see that i didn't leave them on purpose, was in no mind to make decisions, i couldn't breathe and felt like i was going to be attacked or die at the same time, they are more concerned that they're feelings of being left there and they're night was cut short. They don't want to talk to me anymore.

How can i help them understand my perspective?

AITA for leaving my friends on a night out?

I (22F), my bf(20M), my cousin (22F), my best friend (22F) and her bf (20M) (is also my family friend), went for a night out a month ago (purpose was distract me who is currently taking someone to court for $a, and the plea hearing day was that day). We went out had a nice time, drank a bit and did an escape room all together. I was discussing with the girls where we should go out to dance, however it was already 1am and needed to go somewhere close to us, they suggested a place and i agreed to go knowing that it was the only place around us that was open and that had sing along music as they were only into pop music not so much house or techno so i knew they wouldn't be happy if we went anywhere else. For context, the place was the location i went to the night of the incident ($a) where things happened there and escalated later elsewhere, so it wasn't a place i had been to since nor one I wanted to go to, however it had been 2 years and i thought i was strong enough to and my friends wouldn't like anywhere else.
