I(19) have been dating this guy(19) for over three years now, and I sorta knew about his issues before but not in full until now. He was recently diagnosed with a combination of Anxiety, Panic Attacks, and PTSD that is a result of years of bullying when he was younger. He also has a huge fear of rejection and has suffered from depression in the past. 
I try to be understanding and I want to support him, but like with any relationship things come up and I want to talk to him about it, i.e. he has promised to get a job many times but still hasn't gotten so much as an interview. He also doesn't seem to get anything done with his school transfer applications unless I bug him about it. He always seems to be promising things and only fulfilling half of what he says. 
He looks to me as his greatest supporter and a source of strength, so how am I to talk to him when I am upset about these things? I want him to get his ass in gear but I don't know how to say it without seeming like I am putting him down.
