Cut off a lot in relationship due to depression

I have been dating a guy for 6 months totally fell for him to be honest but he has depression and cuts me off when he is bad for a few days at a time. This week has been really bad as he has come off of his anti depressants as they are meaning he has no emotions and he has not spoken to me all week as he has turned his phone off. He told me when I saw him a week ago that he cuts off to handle it and doesn’t talk to anyone. First of all how am I anyone when he can sleep with me, tell me he loves me and tell me I make him smile? Yesterday I drove to his house in my lunch break he didn’t answer the door even though I was shouting through the letterbox. Today I took a day off work so we could spend the day together. He didn’t even have his phone on all day so we couldn’t meet. It is leaving me feel heartbroken when he cuts off, now he has had his phone off for a week. What would your advice be?

So he finally called me Tues this week I was cut off for 9 days. Told him he doesn’t understand how hurtful the cutting off behaviour is he said no he doesn’t understand it. Apparently he was asleep when I went round last Thursday shouting through the letterbox as he had covid 🤣 this whole thing is silly. Things have been more of a friendship in the last week
