Loss of joy in anything

Hello everyone,I'm new to this site and just really feeling down. My girlfriend is sick of dealing with my "issues" anxiety and depression at it's worse. I have trouble dealing/socializing with people and often stay inside alone. I'm on a few meds but they don't seem to work. I have failed at 2 jobs in past few weeks and am really down on myself and abilities to do certain jobs. Now my girlfriend says she wants to become my "caregiver" to save our relationship . I'm on social security disability and am wondering if she can become my caregiver or not? Thanks and I hope all of you find some peace .

hi yeah anyone can be a carer pretty much so shouldn't be a problem in your partner applying.
