Let's start with removing 'Can't' from you vocabulary. You CAN, all you need is practice. I went through the exact same thing a while back. I was drawing really well, and then one day it didn't seem quite as good. It's pretty discouraging. Well, here's what you do:
-Grab a pencil, piece of paper, etc. and just draw SOMETHING. Start, say, with a circle, and just add lines to it, color things in and the like. You'll end up with a cool symbol type thing. Doesn't actually have to BE anything. Abstract is good.
- Every time you DO draw something, congratulate yourself on it. Doesn't matter if it looks like trash, just affirm yourself.
-Music gives wing to the soul. If you draw from your soul, then this is perfect. Put on some really good music, and just draw. Maybe a scene that matches the music. Saying you CAN'T draw is just making that more of a reality for yourself.
Wishing you all the best!

They said it. There is a time and a season for everything. If you feel strongly about creating, then what you should do is create something besides drawings until it comes back: get plastilene and make models, or paints and make colored versions of your drawings. Those great modernists Frank O'Hara and Larry Rivers began their mad "How to make a painting" with:
Do something. Now do something else.
Modernism isn't fashionable any more but it was built on tradition in ways people in the media often refuse to admit. What they meant was you can do anything to a canvas, and once you've done that you can do anything else, but the truth is as craftspeople, we have to cope with everything anyhow. This includes balky emotions. If you want to create and you are standing in your own way, find something else to be creative at until your juices are restored and you can be creative at what you've been trying to be.

Many people are facing the same problem. There is only one solution you need to practice a lot & need to take more interest. Graphic design is the process and art of combining text and graphics and communicating an effective message in the design of logos, graphics, brochures, newsletters, posters, signs, and any other type of visual communication. Today's graphic designers often use desktop publishing software and techniques to achieve their goals. You can take online graphic design training courses where most of the learning is informal, you can learn at your place too, there is no pressure like traditional classroom training. As well as it offers flexibility and convenience, it is preferred by both beginners and advances users. Besides, online computer training is highly beneficial for students or people who are very busy. Further, it is an economical way to easily achieve your training and career goals. So go ahead, don't be nervous.

Know what you mean. I get in rutts too. Try sketching different leaves from all angles, or shoes, set up a still life and draw from different perspectives, subjects should be anything out of your usual realm.
draw on! Agree with "Can" answer.

Nothing. It is your biorhythm. Take up...er.. painting. It will come back to you before the year is over.
