There are two rules in play that regard your timing for cards.

1) You can only play one [Counter] per battle.  This means that you're only allowed to use one [Counter] per instance of battle, and once that is used up you can't use another [Counter] until after that battle.  This obviously doesn't apply here.

2) You can only have one "Link" in a Chain.  This means that you can only use one ability in a Chain.  This one is the one affecting you because you can't respond to your own ability in any way, shape, or form.  You have to let your own ability resolve before you have no active links in the chain and can use another ability.

What you have mistaken is that only your opponent can end your chains by playing something. Your opponent can also end your chain by not playing anything at all. Again, this is mainly because you can't play more than one ability per Chain.
