tip: at your next extremely low mood state, film yourself trying to solve some puzzles. watch it when in better mood to get detailed knowledge of your state-specific cognitive deficits

I think it's just "bad mood or low energy -> limited WM available for effortful things-> trying things without thinking through their consequences very deeply -> bad choices"

that feels true a lot of the time, but in an extremely low state, it seems like there is some deeper kind of stupidification going on

No backchaining: can't guess which moves enable local desired changes. No evaluation: can't guess whether a move is an improvement even according to a relaxation heuristic. No intent momentum: can't see how game state differs from start or goal, don't know why/how you got there.

I admit, I didn't record a video. I think it's just going to look like me playing a puzzle game and the number of moves before I find a solution will be higher than usual. Maybe with a little more "grr" and "uh" and a little less "ooh".
