[QUOTE="B’smom, post: 750572, member: 23359"] When I’m feeling overwhelmed, I find making a list, putting them in order of importance and then making timeline really helps. A visual list of goals makes it easier to achieve. I have made a similar list (contract) with my eldest son regarding his cell phone usage. It worked well for everyone. He knew his expectations and how/when he needed to achieve them. And the visual ensures he doesn’t “forget”. Would that work perhaps? Even setting him back on a better sleep/awake routine. Maybe changing is slowly will make it look like it’s more achievable? Even to apply for jobs. Example: Work: week one: apply to 5 jobs you can do and one job you want to do. Sleep: Week one: go to bed at 12am instead of 2am. Just an idea, he does sound depressed though and hopefully he can get some assistance for that. There’s only so much you can do though to help someone. They really have to want to help themselves in the end. Hopefully you guys can find middle ground. [/QUOTE]
