[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 640615, member: 11791"] Depression and anxiety are real problems. He likely wasn't really choosing NOT to do them... rather, didn't have the internal resources to DO them. The ultimatum may have changed the balance a bit, and he's had to dig deeper to try to fit in. Knowing a bit about depression... I'd say, acknowledge. Not "trophy" praise, but acknowledge that he is doing what is expected, and that it is appreciated. Put it in "me" terms... as in, tell him what it means to YOU. Not how well he is doing, but how much you appreciate not having to do X or having Y done.... [/QUOTE]
