"Read this slowly. Your anxiety isn't crazy. It's conditioned." If your heart races when they don't text back. If silence feels louder than words. If waiting feels like being left behind. That's not you being "too much." That's your body remembering a time when love left without explanation. Your nervous system doesn't care about logic. It cares about survival. And when you've been abandoned before, even a delayed reply feels like history repeating itself. You're not dramatic. You're protecting the younger version of you who once felt disposable. And healing begins the moment you stop shaming yourself for reacting to old wounds.
