How to stop ghosting people when dealing with intense anxiety/ depression?

I notice times that I’m experiencing more anxiety and/ or depression than usual I tend to ghost people? I don’t respond to this text messages until days later. I’ve noticed this trend but it’s bad. I just get so overwhelmed with texting, and during those moments when I’m dealing with a lot it’s difficult for me to reach out/ respond? I tend to isolate. I feel bad as I’ve been trying to make some new friends but ghosted them the past few days because I’ve been dealing with a lot personally. I did respond to them and apologize but I didn’t want to go in depth about what I was going through since I’ve only known them for a few weeks.
