self-sabotage/ apathy

What do you recommend doing when your child's response to discipline is to self-sabotage. Sometimes if I start the process of "the Rule of 3" he will say "just put me in 24 hours" and then doesn't appear to care about anything. He then won't start the 24 hours and will tell you he doesn't care if he doesn't have privileges and will just lie in bed doing nothing. When he gets into this dark mindset- he becomes apathetic about everything, even his life. It's really hard when he doesn't seem to care about any consequences. It gives me nothing to work with. Help!
