Wants to separate but hasn’t moved out

My husband appears to be having a breakdown (diagnosed with anxiety and depression). He has severe anxiety symptoms. Quit his job without anything lined up, has stopped seeing his parents and no longer talking to his siblings, has spoken about needing to find new friends etc. At the end of March he told me he wanted to separate, and two months later he is still here. Refuses to get any help and says he needs to move out and then his anxiety will magically get better. Since March he’s only been to see one flat and told me somebody else put in an offer before him. There is so much on the market here but he wants something luxurious, because it needs to be “good enough” for our two small kids?!? and he doesn’t want to go anywhere depressing. There aren’t many luxury flats around here so I don’t know how long this is going to go on for. I’ve said to him several times that he needs to move out, if that’s the only step he’s willing to take and he just gets angry and tells me he’s trying. I’m trying to detach myself emotionally from him but it’s really hard when he’s still around. I don’t know what to do
