You may have lost connection to your values and internal resources. Both of these give a person hope and confidence. A therapist can help you change your perceptions and evaluations about your situation and thereby help you get clarity about internal obstacles that interfere with moving forward. Try to write down why you want to do this and see what emerges. Procrastination causes unnecessary chronic stress which affects the body.

Hi, I can see that you have works hard to get where you are as starting a PhD is not easy. I am curious to know if your PhD was a choice you made that is not agreeing with you now, or was there some pressure or external reason? I am sure there are good reasons that you don't find your PhD important. Maybe its the topic or the practical implications. Maybe you are not sure it is helpful for you own career or growth. However, there must be a reason that is making sense to you. I am also concerned that some of these struggles may have come up recently. Insecurities and anxieties can make every day decision making and day to day tasks very difficult. I can imagine how hard this much be for you. You are also not able to focus as there is just so much going on in your head.

Just, give a thought - What made you to dislike your research? Is the reason you thought is valid ? What you are anxious about?
Just ask these questions to yourself and put it in a piece of paper and analyze them. Strike of the things that are not applicable to you.
Do some yoga and meditation to calm down yourself
This is just a suggestion to you as there are few unexplored aspects so accurate advice is not possible in this moment.
