My boyfriend lost his job several months ago. Since then, he has progressively become more and more depressed. He seems to have lost the motivation for most things.
The job market here is pretty terrible, but I think if I he had one he would be in a better place? Hopefully? Maybe finishing his degree? I'm not sure... Doing his hobbies seems to not be helping anymore.
I've also been encouraging him to go to a counselor or something, but he just agrees then takes no action.
I feel really overwhelmed, but I want to help him. What do I do?

Send cv s with him and hope for best. Any kind of work is good for him, to keep him busy while hes searching for something better.I hope hes not desperatly in need of money because that might take a while. My father was 3 years unemployed and he was so depresive about not bringing any money in home, while my mother was earning and still earns 6x more then him.That made him feel useless and redundant while it was quite opposite since he took care of house and me and my brothers 24/7.He changed 10s of jobs untill he found very good one and now things are looking pretty nice.
