Writer's block

I just got my homework completed for the week apart from one exam on Wednesday morning and thought I’d take a bit of me time (a thing that’s been far too rare lately) and do some writing. But I’ve since been sat here for the afternoon deleting everything I write after a few sentences. I’m presuming it’s a mix of writer’s block and depression, but it’s driving me insane. :(

I assume most of the writers here get stuck form time to time. What do you do when you can’t form a plot, challenges don’t have prompts that appeal to you, and everything you do write seems flat and lifeless. I really want to write but don’t know where to start – and that’s possibly the first time in my life I’ve been like this.

I don’t now whether to use my emotions t help (and risk breaking down but possibly get it out in the open) or go wit something light hearted.

 

Can anyone help?
