Hi and welcome! I am sorry you and your friend have had to part ways, especially after you and she spent so much time talking and you were really relying on her.

I don't need to remind you that folks with your diagnosis generally have a harder time connecting with people, and it takes someone who is willing to deal with whatever "quirks" you might have to form a bond.

I wasn't there to hear what she said to you, but a "break" can possibly mean not seeing or talking to someone for awhile, in the sense of using the word in a way such as "I am taking a break from studying." So, you will just have to give it some time--leaving her alone. I assume she told you what you did/said that distressed her so much.

Meanwhile, I can imagine you're lonely, given being away from home and in a new environment. But do try to get out where people are, such as a coffee shop or even the dining hall and see if anybody is willing to accept you. You can try to put into play your social skills. Congrats on being in a Master's program, BTW.

I do hope your friend will eventually reach out to you again.
