[quote=Anonymous] My son and I are low energy (my parents as well). Fatigue is sometimes linked to physical illness, but in our case it’s associated with the inattentive form of ADHD. People with ADHD can stretch to do things if it absolutely needs to get done, or if it’s a favorite activity (like video games); as with hyperactive ADHD, they are at risk of self-medicating with alcohol or drugs or other addictive things (video games), so they need psychiatric assessment and check-ins, perhaps with medication. Someone with low-energy will never become high-energy, OP. BUT! There is hope you cannot yet see! The key is that your son must understand that he is in charge of his own life, and responsible for his own happiness. Guide him towards this, OP, let him make his own choices in life. They will not be yours. But they will be the only way for him to gain self-motivation, if only to put a roof over his head and food on the table. Just make sure his ADHD (or whatever else he has) is well managed. [/quote]
