paralyzed by self doubt need help

I don't know if this is the right platform for such conversations, but I hope that I would be able to find some people who might have gone through this.

So I'm a film student, currently in the third year of my degree program. At first, I was considered a bright student, and I was also very passionate about this. I still love stories, no doubt about that.

But ever since third year started, I'm feeling quite drained. We have our assignments in which we have to write screenplays, and this year it's been more difficult for me than ever to come up with anything exciting or not cliched.

I recently made a short film for my mini thesis and believe it was very boring, bad, and I didn't even like it in the first place. But since it was an assignment, I had to make something, or I would have failed the course.

I tried to come up with some exciting ideas. I sat for hours in front of my computer every day, but nothing came up. They say write all your bad ideas and then something good will come. Believe me, I made a list of all the bad ideas, and it goes to 70 or 80 bad ideas. But yet, nothing.

I was not always like this; I have never been this blank. I feel like I don't have anything to say anymore, like I don't know anything about life or people.

In 2025, I'm going to give my thesis, which would be another short film. Now I don't have any idea what I'm going to make, and it's making me anxious because I don't want to make a boring cliché film that I won't even like.

This anxiety and fear are just making me more paralyzed. It's my semester break right now, and I'm mostly scrolling on Instagram or Facebook rather than doing something productive because I'm too afraid to face the fact that I don't have ideas.

If any of you ever had that sort of experience, please connect with me. I need someone to talk to and share their experience with me. And if you overcame that art block, or whatever that is, please let me know how you did it.

And one other thing is that I have imposter syndrome. I feel like I don't deserve to be in this field and that someone else who is more talented than me should have been in my place. I feel like a fraud who got lucky in the beginning, and now when the luck is gone, it's all over for me.
