Did I overreact with my response?

I’ve been talking to this guy long-distance for over a month, we haven't even met yet. It was super intense, daily talking, and very sexual. Suddenly, he stopped opening my texts for 3 days (sitting on delivered), which is not very normal for him. I was so worried, I thought he had died, or somebody in the family was injured.

Today, I finally posted a story. He viewed it and replied within 5 minutes saying he "was sick." Honestly, I was so frustrated that he could browse IG but not open my chat, so I snapped. I told him if he texted me again, I’d block him.

Now I’m overthinking. We still follow each other, but I’m wondering if I was too harsh or if my reaction was justified because he was clearly "ghosting" until he saw me active. Did I do something wrong by shutting it down that fast?

AIO for being worried that a guy I’ve been talking to for a month has disappeared for 3 days?

I (F) have been talking to this guy (long distance) for over a month now. We talk every single day and the connection is very intense; lots of deep conversations, jokes about cuddling, and a lot of sexting. Usually, even if he’s busy with work and doesn't reply immediately, he at least opens my messages and replies within few hours.

Since last few days, my last message has been sitting on "delivered" and he hasn't opened it at all. This is very unlike him. I’ve already double-texted him because I’m genuinely worried, but now I’m starting to feel like I’m being ghosted or "slow-faded" after things got so intense. Am I overreacting by feeling this anxious after only three days of silence, or is it weird that he’s suddenly gone cold? Is there any way I can know he has been on phone and deliberately not replying to me?
