Q: Need help w/ boyfriend and depression...

Been dating my boyfriend for 4.5mo approx now and he told me about a mo intoi the relationship he was diagnosed w/ major depression after the death of his Mother 6yrs ago...Little history here: He has had 2 suicide attempts and was hospitalized after each the last being about a yr and a half ago where he was hospitalized for 6 weeks he said...We care deeply for eachother and stated he wanted to get better so he can love me like I deserved to be loved,not to give up on him,stated he hopes I dont loose faith in him...All the while he never seems to be able to go out and spend time with me in public...He does not seem to be able to make plans let alone keep them when we do...He says he wants to love me forever and wants to have a normal dating relationship...He has no friends besides a couple that he lives with-the guy being in the Navy also.....My boyfriend stated he got back on his meds end of Feb. but I question if this is case and also last week in a face to face conversation he blurted out i sent him a text few mo back saying I was on my way up to kill him....SO i left and have sent few texts since then and of course again today when i sent him a text saying I had a great weekend but was thing bout him and asked how he was going? I get i told you last week at my dads to move forward cause that is what im trying to do right now" I text back asking if he no longer wanted to see or talk to me and stated that is what he told me which he never did. My question is do they do this when they ARE STRESSED or in a mood? ANd the fact that I saw this face to face do you feel that hes embarrassed that he stated that I texted him a death threat? This has happened before but I feel that he is starting to have delusions and it may be getting worse. Maybe the fact that hes in the Navy hes hiding mental health issues...I dearly love this man and care for his well being and I know he cares for me too but He is like a ollercoaster. SHould I believ he wants me to move on or is this something they do? I am very worried...please any help and advice is greatly appreciated....
