My psychiatrist says I'm not depressed because he says I don't feel sad and yet I attempted suicide so I don't know. My psychologist says I am though.

I'm getting a new psychiatrist because mine just doesn't want to prescribe needs it seems and wants me to stay on my current ones.

But the hell with everything god damn
As far as I know it is not the main symptom of anxiety or schizophrenia...anxiety can cause one to feel empty due to getting exausted from the anxiety but the main symptom of anxiety is feeling anxious even to the point of panic when you're not actually in danger. Also from what I understand people with schizophrenia have flat effect sometimes which is like not really feeling much I admit though I am no expert but that's what I've gathered from what I've read and learned in psychology.

It actually is a symptom of major depression:

I've had major depression for quite some time and struggle with that feeling quite a lot, been dealing with it lately as well..your psychiatrist or whatever seems to be somewhat ignorant.
