Total inability to draw

(Not sure where else to post this.)
I should probably preface this by saying I'm a beginner. I tried Drawabox back in 2019/2020, but I dropped out around perspective (https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/7), when I tried and failed to apply the 50% rule for the first time. I'd consider jumping back into it from the start if not for this intense mental and physical freeze I'm experiencing. Whenever I try to put anything down on paper, even something as simple as a line, I'm just too frozen to actually follow through. Trying to push through makes it worse, obviously, but trying to wait the issue out doesn't make it better. It's like I'm just stuck with this problem. And before anyone says anything, I've tried therapy multiple times. My therapists haven't been able to help - in fact, my last one made things worse - and I can't afford to go back. What do I even do about this issue?
Fear of the blank paper has struck everyone at one point, and the only solution is to just start somewhere. Think about it this way, making a bad drawing and learning even a little from the experience is far better than not even trying. After all that's what practice is all about, learning by doing it again and again.
