(UPDATE) My [23F] boyfriend [29M] keeps making my depression about him and it only makes me feel more hopeless.

Not sure anyone would care for an update, but I figured I'd make one anyways.
After my post, things kept going as they were. He kept making my depression about him, not really listening to me or empathizing with my feelings. I just got a little too overwhelmed by him. He started to blame me for my feelings "affecting" him so negatively. He was upset that my depression was making him bummed out. I started going in to a downward spiral of depression.
The long story short is that we broke up about a month ago. It started off as a "break" so I could just deal with it on my own without "affecting" him, but now it is permanent.
Anyways... About two days after the break started, I immediately started noticing I wasn't feeling as depressed anymore. I know the depression will always come back in swings, but at least I don't have to deal with him digging in the way he was. He's upset that we won't be getting back together but I feel infinitely less stressed.
TL;DR: Boyfriend was digging in and making my depression about him. We split up and now I am no longer in a downward spiral.
