These feelings are triggered by smallest incidents in my current relationships (someone says something or ignores me etc...). My reaction to these is much stronger than appropriate. I feel like I'm drowning and can't get to the surface.

I can really empathise with you. I am exactly the same. Any situation where you feel a lack of power can be a trigger.
An old GP blamed me saying I just wanted my own way. It is our inner child crying out to us to help.
