I'm so sorry to hear about your suffering! And I really know what you mean. I have those unproductive times too. I mainly do 2 things against it:
I remember that I'm not a machine. It's ok to sometimes not be able to work as efficient as I would like. Than I deliberately take a break. I stand up, drink/eat something, do something totally different. I cannot charge the customer for staring at the screen. So I might as well take a break.
I remind myself why I'm doing this. I remember that my awesome wife takes care of our kids to set me free for work. I remember that I'm so blessed to have the privilege of getting paid for doing something I love! This is often a strong motivation for me to continue my work more efficiently.
I don't know if this works for you too, you are certainly in a very different situation. But I really hope you find something that helps!
