Quote From: jurjeioanahe's proabably taking the wrong drugs. if he's so unmotivated, then he needs to get off the street drugs and go to the doc. and get presc. stimulants. if he has an addictive personality, then they need to be given once a day, possessed by family member. the wrong drugs can make you not want to leave the couch for days. the right 'motivating' drugs, given correctly, can make life take off on the Wings of Eagles. Seconded.
Often people will self-medicate on stuff that has the opposite effect.
For example, someone with depression or bipolar disorder in a depressed state may drink a lot. Alcohol is a depressant, not a stimulant.
On the other hand, people with ADD/ADHD may drink a lot, or smoke pot. Again, depressants, when stimulants are needed.
Now, I'm not saying this person should go out and snort some coke (which is a stimulant, BTW). I'm simply agreeing with you, that they should see a doctor and be prescribed with something that will help.
