This is a difficult one to answer usefully as I'm not sure I've ever really had writer's block. For me, the closest analogy would be procrastination and being easily distracted. I've always had the ideas, the problem has been sitting at the computer and developing them. But there comes a point when you realise these things just don't write themselves!
Some advice that might help (though it's a pretty standard reply): the act of writing in itself is a release, is practice. I can see how you might have ideas but have trouble formulating the sentences so they sound how you want, or just struggle knowing what to say. But that can be remedied through writing, writing, writing, and reading, reading, reading. The bigger problem is if you don't have an idea to begin with. Even with this problem though, I would suggest that the act of writing itself could unleash something; start with one line and see where that takes you. Everything can be edited afterwards.
