Apr 13, 2013 at 11:18 comment added Piotr Migdal Very anecdotally, I had a similar thing when finishing my undergraduate studies, I even wrote an essay on that Zapaleńcy i wypaleńcy (Flames of passion… and of burnout, or: about loss of motivation during studies; in Polish, yeah, I should translate it one day, but there are many place-specific things), as I observed I am not the only one. However, what saved my thesis (and perhaps much more) was one prof. mailing me about a side project (on a very different topic), which I enjoyed a lot (and then, I got energy to finish my thesis).

Apr 13, 2013 at 6:32 comment added Suresh I'm sorry that you're feeling this way: it's a difficult situation to be in. Does your university have a counselling center ? If so, it might be good to drop by and have a talk with them as well.
Apr 13, 2013 at 5:57 comment added Nobody You already found that question. Did any of the answers to that question help you? Try some of the suggestions people made. For example, I personally like Dave Clarke's idea - take a few weeks vacation. If you cannot afford to three weeks, at least take a few days off, go somewhere else, refresh your mind. It's not the end of the world, trust me.
