IMO, everyone is going to / have had their lulls in addition to their high flying times. I was caught in a couple of those in my 20's and 30's as well, and you just have to try different things to break out of the pattern. Occasionally for some, the situation may resolve on its own (but I wouldn't count on it).
I desperately miss my 20's and 30's -- the freedom, the simplicity, the spontaneity, the smallness of my world at the time -- but I wouldn't trade anything I have now to re-live those moments.
Even now, I'd say I am kind of stuck at a low point, with me wishfully thinking that I am only stuck at this low point for the time being. Lots of things are beyond my control, and the best I can do is to dig in and ride it out. It is not fun, but I try to make the best out of it, and steal back a moment of fun here and there to balance it out.
One thing I did back then when I was in a similar lull as you are now was -- I forced myself to keep going out to enjoy the scene. I went in with no expectations, and 99% of the time came out with no results, other than gaining a tiny bit more of life experience. In the end, it sort of worked out -- the more things you try, the higher the chances of something is going to work to pull you out of that lull.
I fully acknowledge that things are probably much harder for you now, than it was for me back then. At a minimum, things are way more expensive now. And you also have far more and bigger responsibilities than I did back then. But I also think you are much smarter and capable than I am LOL~
So hang in there, and do something before you become a 40 year old virgin LOL~
