Oh heck, I think I felt like that for years.  I was SO severely depressed that I just plain "shut down." Nothing affected me at all. It was pretty darn awful.
That was when I was in my 20's -- MANY years ago. LOL I finally got on an antidepressant and started therapy, and pretty soon I fell apart at the seams! At one point, I commited myself to a mental hospital for 2 weeks. That was the best thing I could have done for myself.  I really needed that.
I've been on an antidepressant for probably 40 years now, and I"m no longer numb or 'emotionless.' I can cry with the best of them.
I HOPE you're seeing a therapist. If not, I would recommend that you make an appointment with one. You won't regret it. Therapy sure made a difference for me. I wish you the very best. Please take care! God bless. Hugs, Lee
