Nerves or something else?

This isn't a post about getting over nerves at tournament. This is something I don't have a problem with.

What I'm talking about is nerves against one player, I play against a Jigglypuff player fairly regularly and I don't think I've ever had someone get into my head quite so badly. I think this is the case with most Jig's players once they get in your head they just destroy you.

What I'm having trouble with is last time I played him I was dealing with sickness (spinal meningitis) and it was pretty bad I could barely walk or move despite all of this I made it to "grand finals" somehow and wanting to die. The reason I went through with this is because I don't have too many chances to play right now.

In either case he destroyed me and I was getting angry at myself cause I couldn't operate. Long story short I'm recovered now (for the most part) and now I'm scared to jump/push buttons while just practising. It's like I'm frozen unable to push anything when I should be able to. I keep second guessing myself now, "Should I jump now? Should I grab? What?" And I just honestly don't know, this is something I've never had an issue with before, before I just played and couldn't lose and now everything is out of whack.

This is a player I used to beat fairly consistently and now I'm getting four stocked by him, I get nervous just thinking about playing him and I just don't know how to deal with this, I've never had this problem before. Other players that I used to four stock now give me problems.

I just can't play. It's almost been a month.
I know there are some people on here that deal with way worse health problems and I was just seeking other opinions, because I don't know what the hell is going on with me. If I'm just nervous or still sick I'm not sure.
