Waiting for that text back when you have anxiety

Описание: Ever send a text and then immediately start overthinking when the reply doesn’t come fast enough? 📱😳 someone asks you, “what’s wrong?” and you smile and say, “oh, nothing, it’s fine!” but inside, it’s like a full-on overthinking tornado. 🌪️
your anxiety starts running wild: “did i say something wrong? are they mad at me? what if they never reply?” and then you check your phone 17 times in two minutes, wondering why those three dots haven’t popped up yet. 🙃
you know, deep down, there’s probably a logical reason. maybe they’re busy, or their phone is on silent. but anxiety doesn’t care about logic. it’s too busy replaying every possible worst-case scenario. 🧠💭
it’s exhausting, right? you just wanted to send a simple text, but now you’re stuck overanalyzing everything from the wording to the timing to whether they secretly hate you (spoiler: they probably don’t). 😅
if this sounds like you, let me remind you: your worth isn’t tied to how quickly someone replies. your overthinking brain might tell you otherwise, but the truth is, people have lives, distractions, and their own stuff going on. it’s not always about you – and that’s okay. 🫶
on those days when your anxiety feels louder than reason, take a deep breath. remind yourself: “it’s just a text. i can’t control how or when they respond.” focus on grounding yourself in the moment instead of letting the spiral take over. 🌟
and if you’re the friend who gets those anxious follow-up texts, try to be patient. a quick “hey, saw this, will reply soon!” can mean the world to someone battling their overthinking mind. 🤍
to everyone out there fighting the texting anxiety battle: you’re not alone, and you’re doing better than you think. your thoughts may be loud, but they’re not facts. give yourself grace – you’ve got this. 💪
