My girlfriend is also in the picture but it wasn't till we got together that she made me aware of how much he is struggling. I don't know what to do as I love him like family (since we have been best friends since we were 13) and I don't want to see him like this.<br><br>He has been really sad for a really long time; I have noticed his spending habits have gotten worse since he has lost his job. It has made him super anxious and depressed. I didn't even notice it until I became friends with my girlfriend. She was the first to make me aware of how much he has isolated himself from everyone.<br><br>I'm worried that if things get worse I won't be able to help and he will end up on the streets, which would kill me emotionally. I plan to sit down and talk to him tomorrow but I would love any advice I could get on how to approach him on the topic without upsetting his feelings. I don't want to end up losing the project we are working on together; we both put in so much effort and this is his only source of income, which is small and we argue about spending; I have been covering the bills lately and I don't want to suggest he get a job just yet.<br><br>He is not really spending outside of groceries and necessities so I'm not expecting anything to change but I'm terrified it will change really fast and I will be stuck with a ton of debt and no savings.<br><br>If you have any advice or just want to chat feel free to send me a message :)
