When I was depressed I felt this way, although like Feleanoctis I'm not fond of the wording.

It's not so much dead as being on auto-pilot or like a surveillance camera in a convenience store without any tape in it. Things vaguely register but nothing makes a real impression.

I don't feel dead inside or anything either.

maybe that's not your intention, but you make it sound like it's a psychological thing. that's far from the reality. the psychology of depression is only a secondary aspect of it, and for that reason it can assume very different forms depending on a number of variables. and that description that you give, though not impossible, is actually an odd one and not at all descriptive of anything "typical", since depression tends to make you pathologically passive. sometimes it even seems to rob you of the sense of having any deliberate thoughts (let alone deliberate action/inaction)
