I am in the field of applied math, and it took me 6 months to produce a paper. And now, I am out of ideas for new papers.

What should I do? How do I even continue? This is sooo difficult..

Compared to biological sciences in the USA at least, 6 months is pretty short for a paper. Did you get published?

Going to conferences and presenting your research can introduce you to some new ideas which can spark creativity.

Research is a bit of a slow grind so, take your time, and take care of yourself!

I submitted it to one of the major conferences in my area, and am currently waiting for the result. I gotta visit conferences more, thanks!
