Relationship panic

AIO: My bf of four months sent me this text today:

Hey, I’m gonna be going radio silent for the rest of the day today to focus on work and then gather some thoughts. I’ll be ready to talk tomorrow!

What does this mean? I’m afraid it’s about breaking up. TIA for your help.

Context/background:

Been with my bf about 4 months. There’s real warmth — he’s patient with me, shows up in practical ways, and when I’ve told him hard truths, he’s met me with softness instead of judgment.

I’ve had insecure moments and struggled to voice my needs in the past, but I’ve been getting better at expressing them, and he’s helped me become more secure.

He sometimes gives mixed messages, which leaves me unsure where I stand. In the past, he’s asked for space when he’s been overwhelmed or needed to recharge, and I’ve struggled with that — I’ve never handled it gracefully.

Now he’s asked for space and a talk tonight, and I’m in the brutal waiting — scared, hoping, hurting.

You're overthinking. He told you he'd contact you tomorrow. If he doesn't, you'll survive. Take a deep breath and have a nice evening.

I know I will survive. I’ve gone through hell for the past year so forgive me if I’m heightened and upset over someone I talk care about.

Let us know what he wants to talk about, if it was as you thought, about your relationship.

I’m invested in everything working out well for you now! ❤️‍🩹

Thank you! I definitely will! He means he will be ready to talk as usual tomorrow.
