Yes! It does feel like running out of a scarce resource most people have in heaps. I don't know exactly how that resource is generated and how to tell how much I have left before I run out, though.
Fortunately, the latter at least seems to be a learnable skill for most people. :)
There is evidence linking people's limited resources for thought and willpower to their blood glucose, which is another good reason to see a doctor to find out if there's something physiological underlying some of your problems.
Does thinking about having less of that resource than other people tend to consume it?
That's a good question. There is a correlation between running out of it and thinking about it, but it's pretty obvious that most of the causation happens the other way around. Talking about it here doesn't seem to hurt, so probably not.
