It might be depression or it might be a defense against anxiety or a kind of self harm (by harming your academic career) with the same motivation as other kinds of self harm.
Whatever it is I am sorry you feel sad and hope you can look for and find at least a few minutes of peace or happiness today. That's what I've been doing looking just for a few seconds even..the kids laughing at the bus stop or the first sip of coffee or anything at all that feels good. And just notice it.
