Today, I told my boyfriend, "We need to talk." He said, "I know". So we met after school, and he said he was OK with me breaking up with him, that he wasn't that into me either. He said all that before I could tell him that my parents wanted to meet him. FML
Today, my boyfriend is blaming me for his recent diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder. Apparently, I should have just kept on tolerating all of his explosive outbursts, instead of "forcing" him to start couples' therapy with me. FML

Today, just as I was starting to get better with my depression through medication and therapy, my partner decided we needed to break up. He's been completely unsupportive and hasn’t cared. I’m just sad that this worsens my depression more than missing him. FML

He is gaslighting hard, and wants you medicated so he can control you. Get a restraining order.

A good couple therapist should be able to make your ex understand that you don't need medication and he needs to back off.

Screw the therapy suggestions, when someone waves a red flag this big and bright in your face you RUN.

I’m not going to defend the guy, assuming nothing is left out of OP’s post, but RUN AWAY as fast as you can. Then file a restraining order if he continues trying to contact. I’d also look into therapy, as you may end up dealing with trauma he caused during the relationship, or find out you also have problems underneath you may need to address as well…
