You’re husband should go see a professional and get help, he still has to provide for his family and 4yrs is a bit long to go without a job, regardless of whatever mental illness
HELP: Due date during school
I need advice or encouragement from mom's that have given birth during the semester they were in school. I just found out I am pregnant and we also have a 7 month old daughter. Due to depression and anxiety my husband hasnt been able to work for 4 years so I am the only income for my family. We are living with his parents to save money and so they can help with my husband and the baby. I do the majority of the housework for us and some housework for the rest of the family. I am due around late September and will be starting my core classes for my medical coding degree. I have gone to school so many times but changed majors or had to quit due to our situation. I'd probably only take 4-5 weeks off work like I did last time so between full time work and full time credits in school am I absolutely crazy to think I can do this with a new baby and a 16month old? Has anyone else been in a similar situation? I feel like I'm handling it great with taking care of my daughter and working full time, I am just so scared of failing and being disappointed.

Get him some CBD oil. Have him massage it into his feet, and try to massage it into his back along the spine. As someone with anxiety and depression this helps me get through my worst days.

He had been getting help for this since he was 12 years old. It wasn't until 4 years ago that he couldn't work because he had a breakdown and hasn't been the same since. We have been constantly trying to get him better, trying new treatments but nothing works so for now him working is not an option.
At the very least your husband needs to help with the housework. I understand where he's at, and goal setting has helped me immensely. It might take me all week to do the dishes, but they need to be done within the week. He's going to need to help with the babies because you can't exactly take them to school or work with you (some professors might actually let you with how young they are, but it honestly depends on your school's culture). You might want to consider doing online courses if it gets to be too much to handle. Again, goal setting can be really helpful - by 2 PM the kids need to have been bathed. The baby needs to be fed by x,y,z times. I'm not going to lie, it's going to be hard and you're probably going to struggle. But if it's important to you, you need to find ways to make it happen.
