Needs a good Psych term

I'm not sure why it needs a term, but it seems rather easy to understand.

You get to a point where you're stuck, then get to a point where you have options, then feel relief.

It's the way that right before I go to bed I have all these plans and they seem easy and I feel optimistic about all the things I'll do the next day, and the next day they seem like they'll be impossible. Right before I'm going to bed I'm optimistic because I don't actually have to get up and do those things, but I feel like I have options the next day. Actually doing things is a lot harder than being in this ephemeral place of considering doing things.

So, I guess the question then is why the patient can't have the feeling of options and that feeling of purgatory (not moving forward, not moving backward) without a doctor. Why does the presence of a doctor offering options convey relief? There are plenty of people who live in suspended animation without a doctor's aid. I guess it's maybe the patient trying to make an effort to gain some inertia but can't go all the way? I dunno.
