Unemployed husband, overwhelmed

Hi everyone. I am in need of help and need advice for a spouse who is unemployed and unmotivated. I'm 22 and he's 23.

Just a bit of a back story, my husband lost his job 2 months ago, going on month 3. He made almost 2x what I make an hour but I make enough to support my half of my bills, I'm feeling overwhelmed and my anxiety is through the roof. I'm working almost 45 hour weeks + house chores and school is back in sesssion so I'm feeling exhausted.

We have an apartment which is $940 a month, two cars, and of course other bills too which amount close to 500 bucks. He has had little to no motivation for applying for jobs or creating a resume to apply with. I created a resume for him but it accidentally got deleted when his computer wiped out but he has yet to make a new one since. I've also trying job searching for him. When I'm gone all he does is play video games and doesn't cook or clean...anytime I ask him politely he blows me off and when Im more assertive he tells me to stop barking at him when I'm hardly yelling. I try to be supportive as much as I can and I try not to let my depression or anxiety show around him, but it's hard.

Yesterday I got fed up because after 9 hours of work I noticed nothing was cleaned but he instead played Xbox for the whole time I was gone. Me being a neat freak, I was so overwhelmed that when I put my foot down he mocked me and started to say stuff like "well when you first moved here and had no job I supported you, I told you I'd take care of you even if you didn't have a job"...which is UNFAIR. As an example, what I make in 2 weeks is what he would make in a week at his old job and if he had overtime on the weekends he would make more MORE on just those two days than what I make in a WHOLE month. It defeats me everytime because I feel like a failure...i try to take care of myself but there's no time in the day for me to do so.

I cook, clean, do his laundry which I always did even when he DID have a job. when I come home from work and I really don't want to argue with him. When I mention it's his depression, he doesn't admit it. I've tried to push him but I can't. Please HELP. I'm at a loss on what do it.
