i overtrained and underate when i first started, and therefore didn't get quite the gains i should have. Then I got my act together and now i've been getting some pretty sweet consistent gains for a couple years now.
Lack of motivation and energy and shit, never had much of a problem until the end of this last semester, then the shit hit the fan. External factors in my life led to a certain amount of depression and anger, and I started giving up on my lifting - it just wasn't...fun anymore. About a month of that, getting further and further disconnected from reality, then I had my second session of OCS for the USMC and that kicked my ass into gear, got back a little while ago and have never been more moto.
Injuries and shit will take me off track for a little bit (like a fucking fractured skull, subdural cerebral hemorrhage and retrograde memory loss compounded by loss of motor function), but I usually get right back on the pain train.
The type of overtraining you're talking about I've always called 'burning out.' Typically just need a bit of R&R and you get out of your funk.
