Need some support 😕

I don’t really have any girl friends who can give me any support or advice right now, but my boyfriend and I decided today that we’re going to be taking a break. He’s going through depression, and doesn’t feel like anyone can help him but himself right now. Which I understand. He needs time to himself to get better and get back to being himself. But I am so incredibly sad. I miss him. I feel horrible and helpless because I want to be able to help him, but I know there’s nothing I can do. We still text each other and talk everyday, but I know i’m not going to see him in person for awhile. We tell each other that we love each other everyday as well, and I know we mean it. We aren’t seeing other people or hooking up with anyone while we’re apart. So I know it probably doesn’t sound like much of a break, but I think he just needed to be out of a committed relationship for awhile. Basically, the way he phrased it was that right now, he doesn’t feel he can dedicate the time and attention to me that I deserve. I love this man with my whole heart, so being away from him is so incredibly difficult. Has anyone been through anything similar or maybe have some advice? I’m really struggling 😔
