Writers Block?


I have two huge issues that are causing me to have major writer’s block:
1.) I have so many story ideas floating around in my head that I can’t focus on one story to write
and
2.) A lot of my stories need endings or some sort of movement that is just on the tip of my tongue which I need to have before I begin writing so I know where I’m going with the story.

Can anyone PLEASE help me, I absolutely have to write and it’s my passion and this writers block is driving me insane
