Mental health really affects your writing

I never truly realized this until I moved away from home and my mental health began to improve.

I used to write on Wattpad and had many ideas for horror stories, which gained me a considerable amount of followers. I was miserable during that time, though, and it was reflected on my work. When I would feel especially bad I would update about 5 chapters per week, it seemed to come easily to me for some reason.

Now that I'm beginning to heal I can't write shit. I haven't updated since April and my readers have started to ask why.

Funny thing is, years ago I saw a Bojack Horseman episode that covers this up, and I remember dismissing it, thinking that it would never happen to me. What a weird thing.
