Is it normal to be on auto pilot for very long times with the only feeling being empty?

that sounds like dissociation and it’s indicative of some kind of overwhelm often emotional

Been going on and off for the past three years (have been diagnosed with depression and nearly committed self harm before when I really wanted to feeling something. Better now but still have these empty moments)

then yes dissociation is normal for people with depression (though it’s definitely not good and is indicative of potentially worsening symptoms)
