Ask HN: I've done absolutely no work since December 15th

The last day I wrote any code for my app was December 15th. I fell into one of my usual anxious and depressed modes , and I was surprised to not resurface after a couple of weeks.

It's now been 4 weeks and 1 day that I have done absolutely no work on my app. I graduated from school in May, and since the 15th of last month, I've spent almost every day in my office rental doing nothing but walking around, eating, going to work out, surfing the web, and going back home. I've tried working from home, but no luck. The distractions kill me, and it's lose-lose either way.

I never wanted to succeed so hard, but I can't get myself back up. This has never happened to me before and it's really bad.

Everyone is asking me how I'm doing, and I've been lying through my teeth. There are a few clients waiting on me to finish up, and apparently that's not enough for me to get cracking.

Is something wrong with me?
