Broke up due to depression

Recently my boyfriend broke up with me after being together for a little over a year. We met in my hometown where we went to the same school together but as soon as university came, we went different ways and tried to keep the relationship going. We did stay together for more than half of the school year but broke up with only under two months left. He has had depression since before we got together and has struggled with it throughout the relationship. I began to struggle with insecurities especially when university came and these two things weve dealt with clashed at times but every time we visited in person we had amazing times. I did not expect this breakup to happen and he told me its because he needs to focus on himself since his mental health is extremely low right now and wants me to work on myself too. He has also turned to drugs to cope. I still am in love with him and I know he is too. I would love to be together again but he doesnt seem certain on anything right now. He said he wants to leave the door open for us to be together again and we could revisit the situation once school ends. Do I move on from him or still keep hopeful while I do my best to focus on myself?

@kindsummer2897 I am sorry to hear it Summer. Probably you may focus on your studies and be as a support system for him so he can recover and feel better and then you may both decide how do you want to lead this relation?

We all are here to support you

@ASilentObserver Thanj you for your response. I really want to still be apart of each others lives and to be able to support him but right now he does not seem to want to talk. I know I didnt specifically do anything that would make him angry or mad at me but maybe its too hard to talk to me right now. Id feel desperate trying to reach out and see how hes doing. I cant tell if I should just wait for him to say something but then again he may never.
