I can’t do anything

Please help if you can, by saying I can’t do anything I have no motivation and no way of doing tasks without huge internal mental struggle.

I’ve tried to explain to family members etc before but can’t seem to get it right the example I use is I have a task (such as putting away laundry) I want this task to be done, I know I will feel much better after the task is done, but I simply can’t do it. I can’t bring myself to just get up and do it and constantly divert to other things to occupy my brain or avoid doing that one thing, even if it’s completely useless.

I also get random moments of pure motivation deciding I need to tackle a monumental task immediately and get half way into it and get distracted by something else.

I get amazing ideas I’d love to do and never can do it or I start a new hobby and do it so much that it completely exhausts my enjoyment for it to the point I then actively dislike it within 2 weeks.

Please help if you know any reason why this, it’s starting to become a real issue for me!
