Dealing with the Empty Feeling of Depression

Hey guys I’m new and not really sure how this works too much, but my issue is feeling empty. I know I’m depressed and will be starting therapy soon and was wondering how people deal with the empty feeling. I don’t feel any other emotion besides being sad but when I do it normally feels muted.

I have kind of the same thing, except I feel nothing but numb for days at a time. I usually talk to my friends and trusted people and try to distract myself with things I like to do, even if it does not feel like it used to
