Husband is depressed
I want to know what I can do.
My husband (22) has been depressed for about 2 years now as he has 1 passion and dream job (music producer/stage performer) and it’s obviously a pretty difficult field to get into.
He has a trade right now that he absolutely hates, he has had a few jobs in food service, retail, trade, realestate etc and he hates everything equally. He doesn’t hang out with friends or family, he doesn’t talk to me, doesn’t work out and barely ever works on making his music . I suggested he start a business and work for himself if 9-5 makes him miserable and bought him $1200 worth of equipment to get it started, now he won’t do anything with it and says he hates that too because it’s not what he wants to do either. He hates his body but won’t workout. He’s always mopey and sad, won’t talk to me about it and hates when I tell him the solutions to the problems. I’ve offered to get a job and let him stay home to do music but he doesn’t want me to work a day job either. He has sleep problems but won’t get them fixed.
Idk how to win here, I can’t change anything or do anything to help, he’s so miserable and tired all the time and won’t do anything to help himself. He just plays games and watches YouTube all the time because he’s tired and depressed. What can I do to help? I love him so much and just want him to be happy again!
