## Resource

ADHD ghosting isn’t always intentional. In this episode of Angry on the Inside, Jess and Jeannine talk about the moment when you meant to reply to a text… but somehow never did. What starts as “I’ll answer later” can quickly turn into days of overthinking, time blindness, hyperfocus, and the pressure to say the right thing. They explore why ADHD texting struggles happen, how emotionally charged messages can trigger overthinking, and why delayed replies can spiral into guilt and shame even when the friendship itself is still strong. If you’ve ever thought about a message for days but never actually sent it, this episode is for you. And if someone came to mind while listening… maybe this is your sign to send the message. Not the perfect one. But the real one.
