I always assumed my blood sugar is low or maybe the glycogen stores in my muscles are depleted (I learned that from this thread, yay!). Or maybe it's psychological.

I think you're closer to the psychological part of it.
Look, I'm not saying everyone is the same or everyone must do as I do, but that's not really that much. I routinely fast all day, work out for 90 minutes and then go play a double header in indoor soccer without running out of energy. All without taking in any extra calories during my workouts. It can be done.
But everyone should have enough glycogen in their muscles to last for at least an hour of continuous high intensity training. What's the rest of your nutrition like? It may be that you're simply not eating enough carbs every day to fuel your workouts, and that's why you're having problems.
