I'm having trouble drawing anything personal at all
It's like I think of an idea and get to scared to even work on it. So I don't even start or anything.
I feel like everything I draw in class looks like a toddler did it. It's such shit.

Try not to draw something personal. Try not to draw anything at all, just draw and see what comes out.
It sounds stupid and a little too simplistic for it to work, but it does.

It's a very good read.
If possible, try taking a walk to clear your head before you plan to sit down and draw. Those ideas you mentioned, write them down and go back to them if you get the "itch" to try them again. Or even try a new medium if possible! If I am sketching crap, I go to my yarns and start crocheting something or my Sculpy stash. I suck at sculpting, so I trick my mind to get a little confidence boost on my drawing skills. Hahah! :)
These have helped me get over rough blocks, I hope thay might help you too!
Either way, you're super talented -- you'll come up out of this. Trust <3
