I had an issue similar to this once, but I was dealing with bipolar disorder and my writing was fueled by mania. The drug I took helped my depression, but it also took my less dangerous mania moments and made it hard to be creative. I ended up on another medication.

Of course, if you've had trouble finding meds that work and switching again freaks you out, I can't blame you at all. And besides that, there's something more underlying here: Emotions controlling work instead of adding to it.

I'm assuming from your wording that when you say you can't write, it means you never feel inspired to write anymore. I've learned that it helps to just get started, even when you don't particularly feel like it. Start freewriting and jotting down whatever comes to mind. Even if it takes longer than it used to, you'll eventually spark something, and if you really love writing you will eventually eventually be having fun again with it.

I think you can be happy AND have fun writing, anon. It's just that you're used to pulling from a certain trouble in your life that you've overcome to be inspired. It means you'll have to shift your approach, but I believe in you. Anybody who overcomes depression has to have the strength to try different methods, after all. :)
