Yes, my advice is always, always the same on this.
Write something else. Seriously, write something fun that has no anxiety attached. If I am not doing multiple projects my production slows to a crawl.
Having more than one project means you aren’t in the anxiety/frustration/depression cycle that comes from being stuck on one project.
Write something fun and short, get that out of your system. Put your other thing away for a day or two.
My other guaranteed solution was a long walk with my dog, I never had a plot problem that didn’t get solved by a long, quiet walk with a good dog.
