TLDR: My partner's difficulties pursuing life tasks is beginning to cause real impacts. How do I support him in managing this?
I (28 M) met my partner (29M) through a mutual friend earlier this year. It's been great and we have a ton in common, he's been a dream. However, he got laid off about three or four months into us dating and he has yet to find another position. Initially, this was awesome to get to spend long summer nights together as he had a good savings for seeking a nice new job (he hated his last one). Though through the weeks and months, he's become more distressed towards life. He's always struggled doing things like renewing his ID, getting his car inspected, going to appointments, etc. But now it seems like he's been paralyzed, not applying to jobs, not reaching out to friends, not leaving our apartment. I've been able to support him emotionally at times but other times this has been challenging. I'm looking for any advice on how I can support him and or myself through this time as I'm concerned for him and the potential consequences of this paralyzation. I don't want to be his parent but I'm feeling helpless. How can I support him?
