when will this nightmare end

Hi everyone my names Rachel haven't been on here for a while. A lot has been going on in my life new job painful brake up and an issue regarding the police which I'd rather not speak about. Anyway I have asperges syndrome I also suffer from anxiety and depression. The brake up was hard took an overdose twice and its just been constant arguing with my parents. I miss my ex a lot I need him because he been my rock and now even though we talking again I feel lost. I'm on antidepressants but they turn me into a zombie. The doctors don't help nothing helps the only thing that keeps me going is my job. I work for thr nhs on the abmu health board as a health care worker or agzilary nurse what ever you wanna call it. Sometimes tho the job is hard and I want to brake down and cry or just scream at some very difficult patients but if I did that I'd be sacked on the spot. 

Anyway this morning after a no cotact period with my ex boyfriend I disided to message him on Facebook hoping to end part of this nightmare. He replied I'm happy for us to talk but stop sending xx that upset me a lot, so I told a lie and said my friend sent him the message he knew it was a lie. I then freaked out when he said I'm off good luck with work I thought he meant I don't wanna speack 2 you again good luck with life. He then just said I've got things to do I've got to go I said sorry got the wrong end of the stick message me later or whenever no pressure tho he just said ok thanks. I got upset because there was no I'm sorry 4 this that or whatever or thank you for my birthday card i sent him a week a go. I was really hoping after taking a break from one another this nightmare would end and I don't know what to do I'm lost I miss my ex so much yes we are slowly starting to talk but why not today. I'm not asking him to get back with me yet all I want is for us to talk like sensible adults and to try again is that so much to ask for. It's been since the beginning of May I put the no contact period in place because we couldn't speak like adults then. We broke up mid April time tried talking then but after me having a massive autistic meltdown that day the situation has been made worse. Why couldn't I have just accepted friendship that day because we be back together by now but stupid rachel had to go into meltdown and ruin her chances.  I can see us getting back but why does it hurt so much when will this nightmare end. Why won't my ex just meet up with me for a coffee and just for us to talk and no haven't really asked him yet he not giving me the chance to.

    I was really upset reading your last post about your parent’s reaction. It sounds like they are not being supportive at all, in fact the complete opposite.

    Hi Rachel,

    Parents' reactions are sometimes an indication that they have their own problems and that are not coping very well with you having problems too. Sometimes, parent's really lack insight into their children's minds and emotions. I'm not saying this to lay any blame at their door but I think this is something that you might want to understand more.

    One possible reason for this, in your case, is that they may also struggle with empathy and communication skills i.e. they may also have autistic (or other psychological issues) problems too. Do you think that this is possible?
