Yeah I'm confused. When you say they are not working due to mental state I assumed an adult partner but homeschooling implies high school or younger age, yet you're talking about college. This is not about age but I am just going to assume you're both young and base this on that.

I have been in a LDR for two years now and my partner suffers from a lot of things such as anxiety, insuffient sleep, very irritable, emotionless, hopeless, etc. The list goes on. The symptoms have yet to be diagnosed. Yesterday, I addressed certain things that have been bothering me recently. They said that it's hard for them to truly feel emotions and said it's not healthy for the relationship or their mental state. I am about to attend college in a few days and they have concerns about that. We originally wanted to move sometime next year but neither of us have jobs or enough money to saved right now. Now, the distance will be extended for another two years and I feel horrible about extending it but it's for good reason. What should I do?

I'm not sure what the "what should I do" question refers to. Is the question related to whether or not to go to school, to stay or leave the partner, move...? I don't know how to answer that because I'm not sure what you're asking.
They say they are unable to feel emotions but as someone else stated it's clear that they do feel emotions. I can understand them saying they feel detached at times, have a hard time feeling empathy or compassion or that their emotions are flat sometimes but they are far from emotionless.
Lastly I would advise you, even if you are not asking this, you can disregard. This is clearly a person that has not been able to work due to mental issues. Cannot go to school with others due to social and/or mental issues. You are speaking of moving with this person and haven't even finished college. There is nothing wrong with you choosing to be with this person but I thought I should make you aware that going forward, do you realize you'll likely end up being the one to carry much of the load of financial security in both of your lives and possibly in other ways too?
If you're both young I think that you both need to find your own stable footing before making plans like moving away and such together.
