Today, I told my boyfriend he's the only good thing left in my life. That's not a healthy relationship dynamic, he said, and ended up breaking up with me. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me because I don’t have a life outside of him. I don’t have any friends other than him, nor do I have any hobbies or interests; he’s the centre of my world. Apparently this makes me too available, needy, and codependent. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me, because I was apparently "too good" for her. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me, as he'd realised that life is really short, and he's got to enjoy with his friends. FML
Today, my boyfriend's proposal speech somehow ended with him breaking up with me. FML
Today, my (now ex) boyfriend and I had a fight, during which he said, "This is why I talk to other girls." I called him out for admitting to cheating and he told me I was toxic. FML
Today, I had a mental breakdown. Many things have been going completely wrong in my life, and I finally decided to let my boyfriend know about it. After about an hour of explaining and pouring my heart out, his response was, "I think we were better off as friends." FML
Today, I told my boyfriend that I was going to stop drinking, since I have been having some problems with alcohol and some of my relatives are alcoholics. He later broke up with me, saying he couldn't be with someone who "chose to be boring." FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were together for 10 months when he told me I’m the only person he’s ever been with who’s made him feel safe and able to be vulnerable and open up for the first time… and made him realise he has trauma to work through. He then dumped me on the spot so he could work through it. FML
Today, I told to my girlfriend of 5 years that I'm depressed about having no friends, no job and a difficult family life. I told her that she's the one constant that keeps me going. She decided this was a good time to break up with me to "find" herself, since I was being so mopey. FML
Today, in the same sentence, my boyfriend told me that he wanted to "spend the rest of his life with me," and "I want to break up with you because I can't face your family." FML

That is a pretty bad thing to do at a time like that... But he is right(about the dynamic part). I'm sorry you're having a rough time, but you aren't alone. I can say from experience that it gets better, and you come out stronger in the end.

What a dick move. You can find someone better who will treat you much better and help you out when you feel depressed.

He's not wrong. In order to have a healthy relationship you need to make sure you have more than one healthy dynamic in your life.

Yeah... I've been in a relationship like that before, where the only thing keeping me in it was his guilt-trips over how I was his last and only option. Me sacrificing myself by holding on for a few extra months past that did nothing to help neither him nor myself. His timing may not have been great, but he is right, that's not a solid basis for a healthy relationship. It doesn't make it suck any less for you OP, but hopefully you can get the help you need. I wouldn't count on resuming things with him, but that said I wouldn't rule it out either.

He is right and personally if my partner said that to me, it would stress me out. I don't want to be the one good thing you have going for you. On that though, I don't think ending the relationship is the only way to solve the problem, would have been good for you and him to discuss what's going on in your life and to figure out ways to make it better. Sorry OP, hope things get better for you and hope you end up with many reasons to be happy.

You should take some time out and work on yourself now so next time your boyfriend won't be the only good thing in your life. You're important OP, don't ever forget that.

At least one of your problems are gone

That's a lot of pressure to put on a person. It seems he couldn't handle it. Might have been better to say he was the best thing in your life rather than the ONLY good thing.

That sucks so much OP but just remember that many great new beginnings are disguised as sad endings. Best wishes!

while he may have a good point, it seriously wasn't the good time. he should have tried tio find you a friend or three, and then broke up, if he was gonna do so anyway.

That's not good advice. You can't plan a relationship that way because then it'll always be "I'll break up with them when I do xyz." Plus the longer the relationship goes on the more likely that the unhealthy dynamic is growing.

Why is it his job to find her a friend? I'd be very surprised if he was suddenly the only person in her life, chances are this has been going on for a long time. The op should make some friends and become more social but that is something for her to do herself not for others to do for them.
