Hope this doesn't sound trite, but carrying a small notebook to jot down ideas, images, color combos, a few words- whatever impressions is helpful, no matter how skeletal. Also collect pictures, magazine pages, etc. Some people take snaps with a digital camera of things that interest them. When you feel better or at least more mental energy, you have these things to jar your memory, prod you. Fleeting notions don't get totally lost. This method was the life-line that got me through my MFA program succcessfully when I was feeling VERY depressed and was on all kinds of psycho medication combos prescribed by a very incompetent psychiatrist.
