Is he talking to someone about it all? Cause smashing up a bedhead is a bit of a red flag that the mental health is maybe not too good.
Maybe worth setting up some more projects for him after the bed assuming this project goes ok.
Yeah the mental health is not great. I think he talks to his mates a bit but it's an echo chamber where most of them are drinkers/chronic long term weed users and are all enabling each other, so it's not all that healthy. He's having mental health assessments at the moment as part of his medication review so hopefully that leads to something positive for him. In the meantime I have lots of things for him to do lol.
Don’t dump a full list on him. “Hey babe I know you’re not feeling great. When you’re up to it do you think you could tackle X task?” Lots of praise for even attempting said task. Don’t let on there’s a backlog of projects
That's a sound strategy.
