Me and my boyfriend got into our first argument last night. We’ve only been dating about two months- It was over something fairly small, and in no way should it have upset me as much as it did. I completely freaked out and I feel as though I made it worse once we started actually “fighting” because I was so hysterical.

He has done nothing wrong and absolutely did not make me upset like that on his own. I had a relationship that lasted about three years about a year and half prior to this, and it was extremely toxic. We would fight all the time and it wasnt just little arguments, we would get nasty every single time.

I would like to know if it seems to stem from trauma and if so, how can I cope and make sure this works out in the future? I am seeing a therapist semi-regularly.
