Diary Detours: You make my heart beat fast, but not in a good way

Ever had your heart race, but not from excitement, love, or adrenaline?

What if it’s more like being in survival mode, constantly on edge, waiting for the next shoe to drop? In this episode of Diary Detours, I read a personal diary entry that captures the raw, physical sensation of fear and hypervigilance. This is for anyone who has ever felt like prey in their own life.

MEMORABLE QUOTES:

• "It’s crazy how I still walk on eggshells around you. How I’m afraid to breathe around you."
• "This is the heartbeat of an animal in the wild…an animal who is scared for their life."
• "I live in survival mode. Not knowing when you’re going to attack."
