Feeling like I had lost self control.

Absolutely. What you’re going through isn’t just about being “lazy” or “distracted” — it’s a deeper mental fatigue where the brain starts rejecting anything that feels like pressure or demand. The more you or others push, the more your mind pulls away, not out of defiance, but because it’s overwhelmed. Even breaks don’t feel refreshing because your mind never really relaxes — it’s constantly buzzing in the background with stress, guilt, and overthinking. This leads to that sleepy, dull feeling throughout the day, even after enough rest. It’s a common sign of emotional burnout or internal resistance, especially when your goals feel heavy and your energy feels low. Instead of blaming yourself, we can work on rewiring your approach. Start small — give yourself just five-minute tasks, use movement to reset your energy, and begin noticing your thoughts without acting on every distraction. You’re not broken — your brain is just tired of fighting all the time. With consistent therapy and small daily practices, it can get better.
