Normality in feeing nothing.

This is my first time posting, sorry if this isnt how things work! I just feel like I need to get something off my chest and Im not even for sure what *this* is, because I struggle to find the right words.

This year has had by far been my hardest and I dont want to go into details but here recently, erhhh the past few months, I have felt a whole lot of nothing. Well, for the most part, anyways. I used to feel calm when I got time to do things like relax and enjoy morning coffee (Im always excited for coffee) or I felt at peace when I went outside because lets face it, nature is beautiful. But these past few months, its like all of those content feelings have faded away and I failed to realize it. Of course I have realized it now, since it dawns on me that whenever Im feeling something, it tends to be sad. Something thats big enough to bring me to tears.

I feel silly typing this but I feel even weirder about going through my day in motions. Its just motions that im not feeling any connection to. Which is what I dont understand... I figured it was a fleeting episode of sorts that would pass through and it hasnt. It doesnt matter how big or small the situation is (or whatever Im going through), I dont feel any emotional connection.. Is that apart of depression? Is there normalicy In feeling little to nothing at all? I dont know how to manage this. I feel fake. Is this relatable .?

Hello,

I have felt like that for a few years now. To me the ugliness I saw removed my naivety, and I can't help but see positive things as inherently conditional and fleeting. And so better than being angry and sad about that is to be numb.

Some may say that that is overly pessmistic. And for some I may think that is true; but my life's circumstances are still quite poor, and so I see this way of thinking as justified for the present.
