The good news is: you have identified what makes all your relationships fail. At the moment, you are clinging to your ex-partner, because he may be the only thing you feel you have. You have rightly concluded this will push him away even further. Stop contacting him altogether. He has left you, and is now part of your past.
Try to make new friends by starting a new hobby, or going to the gym. Exercise is brilliant because it will release serotonin in your blood.
You should seek counselling and take medication as prescribed by your doctor.
Learn to love yourself slowly, good relationships will follow.

 I am not a medical person but I feel the best way to snap out of a depression is to throw yourself into something worth while that you will enjoy. Working, writing music, stories, animals. There must be something you enjoy.
I have suffered for different severities of depression but always give myself a light at the end of the tunnel. give yourself a goal. Try and identify what it is that is really depressing you and then make a goal to get a way from it or do something about it. e.g. if you do not like where you live - move. If you are over weight - work at losing weight.
I dont believe people get depressed for no reason.
It sounds like you need time to yourself for a while and then you will be able to cope with relationships - they are not always the answer especially when you are feeling the way you do. You need to be strong to handle a relationship and at the moment you are quite vulnerable.
