You know, I can relate too. I had a breakdown while in college and suddenly could not write a simple paper. I let my professor know that I was struggling immensely over the paper and practically having a breakdown, and he allowed me to just talk about the book with him rather than write the paper. So I passed the class.

I am not a professional either, but it does seem like it's depression, and you say you are showing symptoms.

Do you have someone at school that you can talk to/call on the phone about this? A professor for instance?

I don't think you can lose skills that we've already had in life. It seems that something else is blocking you from being able to perform, which means it's fixable.

I truly hope you can get the help you need and a resolution. ((((Hugs))) I can understand your frustration with this.. thinking of you (((More hugs))))
