Is it normal to feel numb while depressed? Like, Your emotions are dull?

Sometimes I feel
Like the little one looking in the window and I’m looking in at my “life”. My soul loves but my mind is a foggy mess with a leave me alone attitude

I have experienced the emotionless existance. Unfortunately it was long before the depression set in. As a firefighter/emt for several years i was witness to many things i dont wish to relive. My wife who was working on her PhD in psychology said that i was suffering from PTSD. Then after her sudden death on January of 2017 the depression jumped on the band wagon. Now i feel Nothing, i dont laugh, i cry over nothing. I dont know what to do anymore.
