I can feel it in a way, cause living in a noisy place make me like paralyzed... so I can only sit here and maybe write on my laptop and that's it. (nothing creative).
In april I started with something small, like I force me to began ( no writing) only small part and then I went on.. and it was ok.. the beginning is the hardest sometimes. and then it worked, that I could go on. I sometimes listen so something (podcast or something like this , while I do this (would not really work with writing maybe lol, but with painting or something like this)

I'm nearly ready with what I want to do, only a few things left (took me 2 month, with many days of doing nothing, and I had not really a "plan" and just decide this week what the final result is )
I mean maybe it's ok to allow us breaks ;) and take longer on it.

also like body doubling could be something, meeting with other people (maybe online) and everybody does something (what they want to do, to be more motivated to do) , not togeather but at the same time, must not be the same...
and then reach out to each other after a specific time... (something that sometimes help with ADHD to start, when they feel paralyzed so maybe also here ? )

i also read from some person, that they can't do anything creative, when they are at their lowest, and started to write after this "I can not do anything". (think it was from a musician)
or maybe start with "today only 15 min". maybe with a clock that stops you. just small amount of time, with less pressure. You don't need to write like 3 hours constant... 15 min is ok too

I'm struggling with literally the same thing, so I don't know if I can be too much of a help :p

Usually, when I get a really cool and unique idea it ignites a flame inside me, like, a river inside my brain was blocked by a fallen tree and now the water can flow again. I stroll around my room and delve deeper into the idea, adding more details and forming a solid direction. Hell, even write a few pages. I start to think of more random details while doing daily work then I fall back into the pit. I suddenly don't want to create anything lol.
But, currently I'm working on a group project with friends and that helps a lot. I guess, writing for a blog that people can see, a fanzine or something similar could help too? The feeling of being responsible, I mean.

You can already express yourself pretty well, though. I'm wishing good things for you!!

I can relate to not getting any creativity done due to anxiety or depression. But I have to say that AI can greatly boost your creativity and motivation as well. All with relatively little input on the user's side. Wether it's music, writing, pictures or video. Example: feed SUNO one of your poems for instance. See what song comes out!
