genuinely looking for advice here. i come here often and try to help people myself, but this time, i'd like some insight.
how do i fight this feeling i've had for the past couple years? it's this absolute pit of emptiness in my gut, where nothing brings me happiness. nothing entertains me and nothing makes me care. i've got a partner who i'm happy with, and care for. but aside from them, i don't feel anything. and even with them, i need to remind myself to care. it's not that i want to feel this way, i just can't fight it. nothing feels right. i started doing a bit better then my grandmother passed due to awful circumstances, and a month later, my dog died. i just don't know how to pick myself up, and i'm so tired of faking emotion.

Ah man, it pains me to see this kind of stuff.
I'm not a mental health professional, so I wont "disgnose" you, but I have been through some shit myself and it was similar to what you describe.
First of all, go and talk to a therapist.
Second, take good care yourself (sleep and eat well, work out, etc.)
If you have rumination, fight it by reminding yourself how irrational is worrying exesively about whatever takes over your mind.
If you are experiencing great monotony in your life, engage in an activity that lets you improve over time, and holds some prestige,

See a therapist. We're not mental health professionals. We can't help you unravel this.
