Cannot physically make myself work

I told my bosses a few months ago that I won't be renewing my contract, but I'd like to stay on to see out my current one (call it self pride). There was only 1 more big event i had to oversee, but I've never been less motivated to make myself work. Essentially, I'm at a point that I cannot motivate myself to sit at my computer and look at emails because it is so mentally straining. Within this role, I'm trying to satisfy 300 people, even though its literally (not figuratively) impossible to do so. Sure, I've had roles in the past that I wasn't a huge fan of, but I never failed to make myself perform the role. But this job, I quite literally cannot make myself do anything because of the physical and mental strain that comes with it. The only reason I did not go back…

Sure, I've had roles in the past that I wasn't a huge fan of, but I never failed to make myself perform the role. But this job, I quite literally cannot make myself do anything because of the physical and mental strain that comes with it. The only reason I did not go back on my word and leave the contract early was that I would be screwing over 1000 kids.

I have 2-weeks (though the next 5 days are the only important ones) until my contract is up and I am a free man with a new job set to start in Aug which i know is back in my comfort/motivation zone.
