A Writer's Block
The inability to express thoughts, to move forward, to feel stuck.
Doesn't it feel familiar to go through a depressive episode?
A writer's ability to produce words is their greatest achievement, it's not the likability of those who read them. It's getting through their block, because when depression eats their soul and disappointment is there to watch, something dies inside and, to revive that, it takes all of you.
Coping with depression and going back to your normal self is familiar as getting through writer's block.
