Default PTSD Mini Problem at Work....

So, I have this big dest and it goes kind of in a half square, so my compie sits in the corner of the square, I face into the corner of the square and have desk to the left of my compie and to the right. The girl that works behind me is Elena and she has the same set up. Well she has a balloon she was given for something attached to a bag of carmel corn. So, If you can picture how I am seated focusing in on my compie this obtrusive balloon is just barely in my peripheral vision as I learned. There is no way for anyone to get standing behind me, they would have to stand in front of my desk or to my left, well I caught a glimpse of this balloon and took it as someone behind me. I went into full Blown fear, PTSD freakout. Elena looked at me like I was off my tree, I almost punched her balloon, my wind was literally taken out of me with the fear of someone being there. Worse yet I had a customer on the phone and had to finish the call before taking a minute to compose myself. Whew, don't ever want that to happen again. Does this type thing happen to others?
