The reason you feel no motivation is caused by the biological progress of the disease. Apathy is caused by lack of dopamine causes a loss of endorphines, the "feel good" hormone. It is the most dangerous of all the symptoms. Observe your routine as stated by you. You need help getting up in the morning. You are unable to motivate yourself, yet you drive the children to school? You spend a great deal of time in a jacuzzi with your wife and young daughter. No exercise, no observing of your diet. This is the good example you want to leave your children? the best they can expect is to not try to succeed, not help themselves, Sit in a jacuzzi all day with no thought of anyone but themselves?
