lately i feel like i am unable to get an emotional reaction out of myself from literally anything. im even able to recognize patterns such as "oh this is something that usually would make me sad but i cant feel anything nothing matter" or "this used to make me so happy recently why cant i get any feeling out of this" im feeling very stuck how do i get out of this

Here's an audio book by Peter Levine on trauma. The trauma might not be relevant to your situation, but he describes a couple of grounding exercises that help to connect more with your body. And in my experience it's the quickest way I know to get out of feeling numb.
