I'm terrified.... my parents were fighting really bad about money. This isn't the first or the last time. I get severe PTSD from it. I laid down with my boyfriend, crying, and repeating the word "stop" while covering my ears. The walls are so thin you can hear everything as if it was next to you. I have no clue what to do when that happens or to help myself calm down.

I am so sorry you had to hear that. Definitely put headphones on or get out of the house when this happens if you can.
I’m really sorry to hear. This reminds me of a similar situation I’m in with my own parents. They fight constantly and when they argue, it gets really bad. My first instinct is to always cover my ears and pray hoping the sounds would go away because my heart would immediately race from there. What I usually do to distract myself is to blast music in my ears, so it sort of blocks them out. Since your bf took you out for a walk, that itself could also be a nice distraction to help you calm down as well. Or like confiding him for comfort is a good way too.
I'm so sorry, that is so painful to witness, especially when you can't get away. I'm glad you had your boyfriend with you. I'm here if you ever need a distraction ❤
What I do is try to listen to music or try to escape to a friend's house
@Aive my boyfriend took me on a walk so I was a little better after that. It just felt awful entering the house again
