Start with the doctor, but don't stop there. Do some more digging to get the problem.
Maybe you are throwing up more barriers to writing by suggesting you have other BIGGER issues to deal with first.
I think I over-emphasized the importance of writing in that post, to tell you the truth. Regardless of that, though, not doing anything at all is definitely problematic.
It's funny (and obviously very early days), but there's been one hell of an improvement to my state of mind since I made this post - the mere fact of typing up 1200 words as well as putting my state of mind on "paper" seems (thus far) to be doing wonders. But I'm not cancelling my doctor's appointment; it can't hurt to describe symptoms and get her opinion at the very least.
And kidding or not, I kind of like your sleeper-cell analogy. Like many fantasies, it has the virtue of being comforting.
