If you've been hitting it hard for seven straight weeks, it's probably time for a break. I know it's tough -- you feel like your whole daily routine is out of whack without the gym -- but it helps in the long run. So, for you, a good week of rest and recuperation is likely a good idea. You don't have to sit around all week, but just stay away from the weights.
When you start to look at the bigger picture of your training, you can begin to schedule in "deload" weeks. This can mean taking a few workouts off, or perhaps cutting volume by half for a week (reduce the amount of sets you're doing for each exercise by half).
The point is to give your body a chance to rebound -- to let your fitness catch up with your fatigue. Excessive fatigue, as you seem to be noticing, makes you underperform and lose the motivation to work out.
