    Sometimes I have a “monkey mind”, but what bothers me more is when I have no thoughts at all. I would consider myself a creative person, and part of that creativity comes from my monkey mind. But sometimes when I tell myself consciously “I am going to be creative and original right now”, all of my thoughts an creativity disappears and I get absolutely stuck with not a single thought in my head. When I want to write a story, I can’t find out what’s going to happen in the story. No words or scenes come to mind. When I want to program a website, no ideas come to mind. When I want to play piano, no melodies come to mind. And whenever I try to push myself just a little bit, I get overwhelmed by the thought “It’s never good enough, I might as well give up now” and then my mind shuts down.
    Is there medicine to open up for these channels so my thoughts don’t get blocked? I really want to think, but I can’t. Only on rare occasions. I can think maybe 1 hour really well… 1 hour in a week. The rest of the week, nothing happens in my head, and I’m starting to fear that my brain is deteriorating or something. It’s not working properly. I can’t even have a conversation because no words come to my mind. I often have nothing to say to people, even if the conversation has already been going on for a minute, I just freeze and my mind shuts down.
    What can I do to open up and start thinking again? Start talking and writing again? Start doing new things? I find that I can still play music I’ve played before, but learning something new stops my mind, just like talking (bringing up something new in a conversation), just like anything “original”, instantly shuts down my brain. What can I do? Any medicine or any lifestyle changes I can make?
