Help me out..

My boyfriend has been going through depression and a little less than a month ago we decided to go on a break because of how zoned out he was in the relationship and how i was constantly doubting how he felt and he asked for space because he needs to regain energy in his own in order to make me happy (it was a very emotional thing for the both of it. Now that time has passed, ive started therapy, ive gained new friends and i took control of my anxious co-dependency that I had whilst with him that created a very unhealthy environment for me. He wasn’t always the way he was, I would say the 9th month of our relationship he started to go down a bad emotional path but would never share it with me or communicate with me. We celebrated our two years over a month ago. However, now he came back. He started messaging me small things about how hes leaving town to visit his prents and just updating me. Today he sent me another long message stressing about me possibly meeting or doing something with someone else and wanted to se a boundary. There have been lots of issues on and off in our relationship that have a lot to deal with him initiating nothing pretty much unless i really push him to. It gets so hard after a while because i started to think he fell out of love with me. I told him today that i think boundaries are good but if you dont know how long this break is going to last (he was the final decision maker) then it would not be fair for me to just sit here and wait. I told him the point of this break is to be able to grow on our own and becoming healthier for eachother whenever or if we get back together and that seeing other people would defeat the whole purpose. He ended up sharing how hes going crazy without me and how hes realized that for the longest time he felt like he didnt deserve me and he feels like a jackass for ever treating me poorly and not giving me whats needed in a relationship. He said he wants to work on himself and hes been trying to but he feels worse than he’s ever felt before ever since we stopped talking and seeinf eachother and that he feels likee its unfair for him to end a break when he feels like this even though he really wants to end it. He seems like hes going through so much emotional turmoil and i told him its best if we talked in person about this because we can at least have a face to face conversation. However im not sure what to do. Ive never been with someone who has depression and i dont know how to help him. I love him dearly but i also know that if we get back together before he finds his happiness within himself, i will also place myself into a emotionally harmful situation of not feeling loved at times. When i met him he was so so happy, so joyful and funny. He has done a lot for me and he is such a great human being but i just need someone to let me know what they thing

K. I would talk to my therapist but unfortunately i would have to wait a while until i see her next.
