Hello Dvspg: I noticed this is your first post here on PC. So... welcome to PsychCentral!

Personally I don't know as there is much you can do with regard to your husband's work situation. This is something I believe he is going to have to figure out for himself. I don't know where you live, of course. But where I live this is actually a very good time to be looking for work. Employers can't find people to fill vacant positions. But then perhaps your feeling that this is a bad time to be looking for new jobs has more to do with your family circumstances than with the job market? Or perhaps the job market where you live is just different.

You mentioned your husband is struggling with a lot of anxiety & depression. That would certainly make getting out & seeking new employment difficult especially while trying to continue to hold down an existing job. Here are links to some articles, from PsychCentral's archives, that offer tips with regard to things you can do to help a loved one who is struggling with depression & anxiety. Perhaps some of the information in these articles will be of some help:
