I lost my creativity :(

So, I´ve always been a very creative person, I enjoy drawing, writing, making stories, I´m always daydreaming or that´s what I used to be. 

The truth is, since I started working I didn´t have time to do all the cool stuff I used to do, and many other factors like depression and illness are making me an ordinary and boring person. I´m not currently working, so I have plenty of free time, and I want to start doing the stuff I used to enjoy the most and I´m good about, but I just don´t know how, I sit down with my sketchbook and some crayons but I don't have storm ideas no more, I want to try write something as I used to do but my mind is all empty and I don´t feel like I could write some stories as I used to do when I was younger at school not paying attention.

 I´m burned out

I´m losing myself

It's a pretty universal and unfortunate experience, but I found comfort in just doing random stuff when I dont have the "motivation". I figured out a while back that motivation isn't really enough to make things, sometimes you just have to push through. And after a while, I regain my abilities and can do things again. It's kinda like the Dunning-Kruger effect, something that kept me motivated during my lows because I can expect myself to improve or make something interesting eventueally. I also recommend experiencing new art, it helps a lot. I listen to a lot of random albums for inspiration. Maybe watch some random 70s polish movie, or go to an exhibition
