What to do if you accidentally texted them something too personal

Her reply tells you less than your nerves want it to. A short answer after a long message usually means she is processing, or that she can't tell whether to ask about it or let it go. It rarely means she has already decided you're too much.

Look at what she does next. If she asks a gentle question about what happened, she is making room for you. If she jumps straight to a bland topic, she is probably signalling that she wants the moment to pass. Notice, too, how much of your message was about you and how little was about anything you two share. Oversharing early usually turns the other person into an unpaid listener, and she can feel that she has been handed a role she never applied for. That role is what you need to hand back, not the content itself.

Name what you did once, in plain words. Say that you sent something heavy when you were having a bad day, and that she doesn't need to respond to it. Then stop. Every extra sentence of apology gives her more to manage, and every sentence of explanation makes the story bigger than it was.

Leave the heavy details where they are. Don't restate the diagnosis, the breakup, or the money trouble, because pointing back at it keeps it on the table. Give her an easy exit that is also a real door. A question about her week, or a light comment about something she said earlier in the chat, works far better than a question asking for her opinion on your situation.

Timing matters more than wording here. If you catch the overshare within a few hours, send the short repair while the conversation still feels active. Waiting until the next morning makes it look like you've been stewing, and it gives her a longer silence to read into.

If she replies warmly, match her pace and let the conversation go wherever it goes, including back to small talk. If she sends one word or nothing, leave it. One follow-up is fine if you have a real reason, like a plan you had already suggested. Don't send a second apology or a second check on whether she is okay. If the thread stays quiet for a couple of days after that, treat it as her answer and move on.
