I feel this from time to time, and for me it's a very chemical feeling that comes about due to not enough sleep and (unhelpfully) not enough caffeine.
I also feel it if I've not been dong anything to stimulate myself mentally lately. Create something, anything.
The burnout aspect comes in the form of wanting to eject yourself when trying to do anything creative. It's a difficult place to be in. Trying to force through just adds more strain and honestly doesn't make anything better. Finding the causes for the burnout and addressing them is more effective from my experience.
I used to think like that too, until I realised that the importance of my underlying issues waxed/waned with the moon cycle. I'm a chemical being, sad to admit it, but it's there.
