How do you overcome a mental block/writer's block and is this a sign of depression?

I've recently come back from holiday and found that i'm experiencing servere mental block. The feeling that you cant remember anything, lost creative spark and just generally feel down and depressed.
Im an extremely expressive person and before i went i could write an essay to an extremely high analytical standard. I did experience a degree of trauma and have been feeling extremely down in the dumps.
I really don't know if my mental state has decended into depression or if it's all in my head... has anybody not felt themselves for a long time and feel that they're just not responding as they usually would?
If so, how did you combat it?

All what i know s that some people has a period of depression for a period of time after coming back from holiday... it s nt something weird but if it lasts for a long time u must go see a doctor

I answered your other question. Are you having trouble remember things that happen while you were away or things that are happening now?? Could some one have spiked your drink???
I think I wouldn't drink for a while and try to built my body back up. A lot of times when people drink and stop it can cause depressions. when you are depressed it can cause you to forget things or not remember things. about 10 years ago I drank and one night I smoked some pot. Well the next day I felt very odd. almost like I wasn't myself. I went thur some kind of freaky depression and it lasted a while. I stopped drinking because I was freaked out. what you are talking about has reminded me of that time in my life. I had always wondered if someone had spiked my drink or the other......
I combated it by not drinking any more and eating healthy and finding something to do and keep my mind off bad thoughts. I never went to the doctor I just came out of it one day.
Just thought I'd share what I know. Hope you get too feeling better.

sometimes its a natural cycle but if it goes on too long
u might want to look at if u hav some unresolvd
issue in ur life---emotions could block creativity very nicely
....or u might want to look into spirituality
excessiv rationality is another great blocker
