Or she is being emotional and irrational and needs to calm down. But I've learned there's no need to say it. All that's needed is disengagement and eventually she tire herself out.
Why does being "being emotional and irrational" mean that she has to calm down? Why are her feelings less valid than yours? She is not a child.
I have been around men & women that have anxiety issues or are bipolar that
over react to the tiniest frustration like the sky is falling.
That is hard to be around and I am sure I have said "chill", "relax" on occasion.
When your passenger is having a panic attack because you simply missed a turn it's
annoying. I am sure they can't help it, but it's no fun for the people around them either.
When someone tells me to calm down I pretty much want to punch all their teeth down their throat. I'm already in a bad and you being condescending and patronizing isn't helping it.

How is just saying calm down being "condescending and patronizing"?
The person is being dismissive of the other person's feelings. It's basically saying your feelings don't matter and it'll **** off people even more.
Dismissive is one thing, but IMO, saying "condescending and patronizing" is a bit hyperbole, but whatever.
