Can't think anymore

Just last year and before that since I was in primary school Id been a really creative person didn't need to think hard to come up with anything I could just sit down and my mind would wander into so many things daydreaming was a daily occurrence words came to me in most conversations instead of me looking for them with difficulty I did and still do want to be a writer more than anything but I can't think anymore even finding the words to write this is a pain when not long ago I couldve dolled it out with ease it's gotten to a point where I'm just getting depressed over it I've always had my imagination to resort to when I was going through hard times from being bullied at school to people close to me dying it's pretty much one of the very few things that kept me happy and made me feel less small in this world I used to draw quite a lot and read but don't really do much of either aside from reading stuff I stumble upon the Internet with the sop story over and done with what I wanted to ask was will taking mushrooms help bring back my creativity?

Only temporarily, as a Crutch, like any drug , sure it will. But besides the actual Trip and perhaps a day or few afterwards if your lucky (afterglow type deal) it wont "bring it back" .
Your growing up , this is part of it. I found myself in the exact same situation when I was younger. I found by reading more, learning meditation from some monastics, and by using a dictionary (online or book) to re hash my vocabulary made my memory and imagination kick back into gear like the old one.
Nothings gaurenteed, Mushrooms are not for all, they are not a magic bullet. They can show you parts of your mind that are usually under the radar and occasionally break into a mystical experience but besides that I would tread wisely. It goes away, it comes back, it goes away, it comes back. Thats the cycle. Good luck brother and take all advice here with a big grain of salt if you know whats good for you.

No harm in trying though haha.

You are the MAN! Cant believe you bought it, thats amazing brother. Honestly im proud of you haha.
Btw in the back there should be like a mini dictionary type thing for the made up / borrowed words in the book, much taken from Islamic/Buddhist traditions and kinda changed a bit. Its good stuff for the mind and a nice archetypal story sort of like star wars or lord of the rings but with a bit of game of thrones and some ancient mysticism and classical philosophy in it . Enjoy!

Btw The dictionary in general isnt for you to seem "pedantic" (lol) . Its to strengthen your memory and so disinhibit brain fart or lag times when using memory in say a conversation or in contemplation.
Plus it will allow you to discern the true meaning behind the words of your fellow man that we ordinarily use in everyday life but seem to be dumb struck when asked to actually define said terms . Doing so for yourself when talking, thinking, or reading will eventually strengthen actual neuro pathways in different parts of the brain which will with practice reinforce and strengthen
themselves through repeated use and eventually open up completely new vistas of imagination and putting together the puzzle pieces of life via the mind will shine through all things like a clear light, but that is with true discipline. Like a self trained semi - genius. Its doable over years.
You taking action like you did shows me your mind is already above average and curious, which is an extremely beneficial and well regarded attribute. Once again, good luck! keep going like your doing and youll make progress, not perfection, but progress which is better because it is measurable. You take it as far as you want that way

You will be even better, why go back to some previous shed skin of your self that hasn't the new stuff you'v accumulated till up to now and will eventually attain to? Forever the way to go man! Feed the noggin and do some great things. And yea facebook is a bad habit, only good for keeping up with real friends who are far away now and then. IMHO haha ok enough of my hoo haa.
