Question: did anything happen between now and when you had this capability?

Because to me it sounds a lot like how I experienced burnout, and it sounds like you’re the sort of person who tends to work extremely hard.

That's what happened to me. I had a few health issues and surgeries, and suddenly some of my life goals weren't possible anymore. My brain knew about it and got demotivated. Never completely recovered. I might try to self brainwash into the "it's still possible" mindset, but my rational layer is stubborn and keeps saying to myself "I have to face the truth", even if the truth means less productivity. :/
