I have been there, oh have I been there! I'm acutally really glad you posted this because I struggle with this, though, I am fighting it more and more every day. I want to do so many things, I have thought maybe it is because:
1. I'm afraid to fail (according to my standards or someone elses)
2. I'm lazy - but I'm not because when I am required to do something I am sooooo good at it.
3. I feel guilty - sometimes in relationships people feel guilty because they think they should be using that time as 'quality time' - but dont buy it! People need their space!
4. ADHD - yep, I've thought about it - ooohh how so many things can be blamed on ADD
5. I feel I need to conserve my energy for when something is required of me - crazy, I know, just crazy
6. Trying to avoid it for some reason, there is no rational, but sometimes when I feel like something is daunting, I avoid it by doing everything else but
7. Perfectionism: yes, this is a recent revelation, perfectionism isnt necessarily everything is perfect, its that it must be perfect or not at all. All or nothing. For example: if I am going to clean the house it must be perfect and you get so caught up in the details that the whole thought of cleaning the house becomes overwhelming so you dont do it.
8. What's your sign - sometimes I wonder about that - Capricorn?
Did you guys know that your personality is actually entirely designated by the number of walnuts within a 50 meter vicinity at the time of your conception?
I didnt know that both were negative signs - interesting, thanks.
My dad is a Taurus and he is also a hypocondriac :) Not that that is the end all be all of course :)
OMG, that is really strange! Now I'm gonna have to look into this a bit more! I have read somewhere that Capricorns are notorious for taking the slow and steady (safe) approach in life...... anyway, weird and cool :)
Is it normal I can't find any motivation?

I suffer all the same, but I am Taurus. Both are considered "negative signs", but I assure you it is not to be taken with a grain of salt.
It puts me at ease to blame all of my flaws and precautions as mental illnesses. As a result, I've become quite the hypochondriac.

I think its quite obvious that your sign does not determine your personality. But thank you for your comment, it was funny :)
