i think my boyfriend might break up with me and i'm scared |

my boyfriend (m23) is extremely depressed and i (f20) don't know what to do, it's been causing arguments, he never really wants to do anything new and sleeps really late and i understand it's hard for him i really do but it's exhausting for me, i have so many plans i want to do with my future but sometimes it feels like he doesn't want to be apart of those plans

he recently got let go from his job and doesn't want to look for any other work

he has a driving theory coming up i keep saying he should revise but he doesn't want to

those are just some things that's happened

yesterday i asked him about some of these things and he said he doesn't think he will ever get better and he doesn't want to pull me down with him i told him i love him and i don't feel like he's pulling me down with him, i asked if he thinks we would be better as friends but he just kept saying i don't know ..

when it’s good between us it’s really good and i bought this up to him but he told me he always feels like this he just hides it and that hurt a little because i thought we were having a good time and the fact deep down he isn’t having a good time makes me sad

i asked him what he wants to do but he just kept saying i don't know to literally every question i asked he just said i don't know, i told him i don't want to break up and he just stayed silent and started crying

i’m currently staying at his house until monday as i have an appointment monday which is closer to his house so it's just easier for me but he doesn't want to talk to me

i know he's really hurting and i really want to help him get better i don't want to leave him alone i cant imagine my life without him i love him so much im extremely lost on what to do

TL;DR: boyfriend is depressed and doesn't really want to do anything with me and wont really talk about our problems with me
