Slang
From a transcript focused on a case of sexual abuse in the US:
Por qué [redacted]?
¿Por qué me violaste?
¿Qué te llevó a hacer algo así?
Siempre te he respetado –
Arturo:
Yo también –
Mujer:
Nunca te insinué nada.
Nunca te he coqueteado ni te he cerrado el ojito.
Ni siquiera te he saludado de besito.
Por eso era lo que me sacaba de onda.
Is it something like: It took me off guard?

Between "freak out" and "blow one's mind", I lean more toward "freak out".

left me out of wack
Por eso era que me sacaba de onda = That's why it left me [so] out of wack [implying the experience or ordeal left her in an emotional state that was 'less than whole' or slighly 'off kilter']
Sure, it surprised her, but she may be implying it (i.e., being raped) did something more lasting than that.

Lose (your) temper
Al principio me sacaba de onda. "¿Vas a echarlo al asador?, ¿sólo para hacer algo de cenar?" Ya perdí la costumbre. - https://twitter.com/alanpf/status/741055672893087745
