Ongoing depression: While many people think of depression as being sad, hopeless, etc., flat mood and an inability to feel is often another symptom of depression. Sometimes people also report this lack of feeling when they first start antidepressants. I would advise seeking counseling in order to help better sort through your symptoms and concerns.

It depends: It could be a partially remitted depression which has left you emotionally empty. If you are still on medication, especially an ssri, you may be relapsing or you may have to get a dosage adjustment to get rid of the numbing.
