I can't see any patterns, any combinations or any good moves

Hello, a 200 elo rated player here. Recently, I am unable to spot a good move. I can visualize the moves that ensue a certain move, but I constantly struggle with pinpointing a good move that I should play. When I try to apply methods for finding good moves, I merely end up staring blankly on the chessboard. Checkmates in middle games have been difficult to find, even when there is a obbvious mate in 2-3 moves. 

The board looks like a jumbled up mess of pieces to me now, what tips or ideas would you give me to help across this plateau?

At your level just try not to hang pieces in one move and you will be fine. With time, you will start finding tactics above 2 moves. Try to capture you opponent's hanging pieces too.

Doing more tactical puzzles should help.

I suggest doing daily puzzles, especially if you need to learn basic patterns do puzzle rush
