It makes sense. Alarm bells would be ringing big time, the once safe space having been polluted or invaded somehow. Therapists always suggest going out in nature and going out for walks, which I do, but it opens me up to a lot of bad interactions. A warning sign that things are getting bad internally is when someone makes calls to the police about suspicious people. When that happens, I let my therapist know the calls to PD are starting, and we try to sort through what the trigger was, or if the threat was legit. What you experienced would have set things off internally for me.
