Bf lost feelings because of depression. I am hurt

My bf and I dated for 1.5 years. Before and during the relationship he told me how he has depression. I love him a lot and in fact I have loved him truly and unconditionally. He was living in a toxic environment in which his parents were abusive. He was not able to talk to me as much because of that. He told me a few times that I can move on. He even told me that when he leaves his toxic home, we will be a normal couple. I was looking forward to that and I really loved him so I stayed. A few days ago he told me that he lost feelings and tried to get them back but couldn't and he said it was not fair for him to keep me waiting. I was happily waiting throughout our relationship because I believe that good things come to those who wait. I told him that I am down to wait for him and will do happily because of the benefits in the end. This is just my thinking based on life experiences. He told me that he did love me before and he thought that if he loved me then he could fix himself. Then he told me that he kept getting worse and he said he does not want to be in a relationship with anyone right now. He sounded extremely depressed. He even told me that no one can fix him. I was hurt by his words. I asked him that does he want to get back together when he leaves his house for college and he said that he doesn't know about that. I was really hurt because he told me 3 days prior to that that he is thankful that I put up with him and that we will be a normal couple. I think I told him that I am willing to wait because of the long term benefits of waiting: which is having him in my life. I really love this guy and I do not know if he will come back but I do feel upset that I was not able to help him and that he lost feelings. Is it his depression that makes him feel like he lost feelings? He told me that he would love to date me when he leaves his house, which is August for college, and he said that he doesn't think it is fair to keep me waiting because someone else could love me better. Later he said that he doesn't know about college and I got confused as to what he wanted. I was really hurt reading those words because I truly love him unconditionally. This was the first time I felt love like this for someone and I don't think I will be able to love anyone else the same way as I loved him. It happened completely out of the blue and it hurt me a lot. I have been crying this entire time and I don't know what to do. By the way, waiting till August was something that I thought was normal and it really did not affect me as much. It did make me be a little salty some times when I talked to him.
