Finished relationship

Do started dating a guy last August, knew he suffered with depression but he was well so no concerns from me.

He was well for the first 5 months of our relationship but the last 5 he’s been v v unwell.

It has got to a point now I’ve ended it and need to distance myself from him as it was hurting me.

For 5 months it’s been a one sided relationship as he’s been ill. No thought towards me, no affection, no interest, just nothing. It’s been heart breaking as I know it’s the depression and not him.

So now I’ve ended it I’m dealing with heart break as I miss him and still care so much for him.

I don’t know if I can be friends as it hurts me too much being let down and pushed away.

any words of wisdom please?
