I recommend dumping any of the crap you've been telling yourself for the past 9 months. If you know how to meditate, then do that.
If not, then find something that you used to think was beautiful. Something that sparked a sliver of an emotion in you. It could be music, a friend, a pet, or whatever.
Let's say it's a flower. There's a really pretty flower outside your house that you used to look at. It made you happy.
Clear your mind, go outside, and stare at it. Don't think about it, analyze it, or label it. Just go look at it. Forget about everything else. Forget about who you are. See if you can feel something for that flower.
It may sound weird, but try it. I used to be pretty out of touch from my emotions too. It was mainly because I was thinking way too much. This exercise will help you to relax your mind, and enter your emotions.
