I am scared and can't tell if I'm over reacting.

My boyfriend started sweet so I ignored things I shouldn't have. Everyone around always says I'm anxious and I overthink everything so I kept seeing him. Over the course of 6 months he told me when his previous girlfriend left him he pulled a gun on her and pulled the trigger but it misfired and he was never charged. He also continued to stalk her for 6 months and were only together for a couple months. He also never physically harmed me but he did say things like I really want to punch someone right now. Slam things he tried to kill himself during an argument. Would listen in on my therapy appointment and get upset if I even said his name. My breaking point we had a fight and he was yelling and scaring me so I told him to go to the other room he did but he came back and said he had a knife and was thinking about using it. So I started planning how to leave. I found a job in another state but it doesn't start for another 2.5 weeks. I did break up with him and he keeps showing up at my work leaving things at my door. He tried to get me in his car multiple times and knocked on my door for an hour. He doesn't know I'm leaving I've kept it secret but I'm getting scared he is going to escalate before I leave. Am I over reacting I don't know what to do.
