Hmmmm..... sounds like you may be suffering from a nice bout of depression. When you have no energy, or no motivation to do things, especially things you USED to enjoy, that is one of the "classic" indications of a depressive illness.
You said "school work", so high school, college or what? How old are you? This is important for anyone to provide you with any suggestions.Regardless, you should probably make a Dr. appointment with your family Doc, and see if he/she thinks you might benefit from medical treatment, counseling or both. From what you have described, your condition seems to be getting worse, and has been bothering you for awhile.
This is something "not likely" to resolve itself spontaneously (though sometimes it does). Again, my suggestion is that you wait no longer, but call your Doc ASAP to get yourself checked out. Even if you are NOT suffering from a depressive illness, many other PHYSICAL ailments can cause similiar mood changes (thyroid or hormone problems for example.
Soooooo... make the call, get yourself checked out, and do it sooner rather than later so that you can start to feel better more quickly!
