No self motivation
The time has come that I no longer can motivate Mike to do things and he has no self motivation. He sits in the kitchen and watches TV when he is awake. Then when he can't find anything to watch he goes to the bedroom and lays down for a "nap" which usually ends up being 3-4 hours long! I have talked to him about this and told him that he has got to start doing more excercises and pushing himself harder. He has mastered all the things home therapy can give him to do but we can't get him into outpatient clinic yet due to insurance factor. He is beginning to think this is as far as he is gonna get in recovery and wants to accept it for that!! I cant stand it!! I know he has much more to gain but I cant motivate him anymore. I make all kinds of suggestions and even demanded he do more but to no availe. He says ok you are right and tommorrow I will do better, but tommorrow never comes!! I don't know what else to do! I don't want him to give up, I just don't know what else to do. Any ideas??
