I’m in the same state all the time and don’t feel any emotions – is this dissociation?

I went through a very stressful and traumatic time last summer which made me develop insomnia and anxiety and I wasn’t able to sleep for 3 weeks.
Ever since I’ve not experienced my feelings and emotions at all and I’m afraid this is due to dissociation. I also had extreme dizziness for about 8 weeks but this has now disappeared.

However, for the past 9 months I have not felt tired, hungry or full and I also no longer feel the effect of alcohol. I’m on anti depressants and anti psychotics but I’m not sure if it’s helping at all because I just feel like I’m stuck in the same state all the time. It’s really the most horrible feeling and I feel like nothing can make me feel any different and I just feel so empty. I also have a loop of a song constantly stuck in my head 24/7. In addition, I experience social anxiety and feel I can no longer hold a conversation as I feel my mind is blank and I can only focus on how bad I am feeling all the time.

I wanted to hear if anyone else has experienced similar symptoms and what you did to address them? Would TMS work? At this point I’m desperate to try anything as I just want to feel better and I’m not sure how much longer I can go feeling like this.
