hey, i’m so sorry love that sounds awful. regardless of what the situation is, try to be more gentle with yourself - when you’re feeling numb, your body is basically suppressing your emotions to try to protect you, and that’s not something you can just easily overcome - even when it comes to major events. It’s not your fault, and you’re certainly not alone as I’m dealing with similar feelings of numbness from depression at the moment too.

one thing you might wanna look into is somatic therapy, which seeks to reconnect your body to your mind and help you to feel and process your emotions better. Best of luck<3
