I wonder if perhaps the "numbness/empty" feeling is linked to the so called "dark night of the soul".....
From my personal experience the dark night of the soul is like being caged by raw emotions and facing parts of the self that one was not able to face before but NOW is the time. It is a sort of initiation....if you will take that lightly as possible. Many people commit suicide during this time btw. One would feel filled with everything they hate or cannot accept rather than numbness imo.
