I feel like I've lost all empathy

Hello, I've never posted here, but I felt that I needed to talk about what I've been feeling. Simply put, I feel like I've lost my connection to other people. For starters, I'm 26 and male. I've been living in a foreign country for about four years. I enjoy it here and I have done a good job learning the language. I recently started a new job that I enjoy very much, but it's the things that happened before this that caused some problems. I had been dating a girl for four years. We had gone through a long distance relationship multiple times, but we stuck with it. After a year and a half of me spending most of my money to visit her on weekends, I moved to her city. At this point, I ran into money problems, and was completely broke. On top of that, I was just about to start a new job that was extremely demanding and required being positive and upbeat. I was extremely depressed at this point in my life. I didn't have enough money to buy food, and I had no one to talk to. My gf at the time was the only person I knew there. Unfortunately, I got into a texting conversation with my gf. She ended up breaking up with me. At that point, I felt exhausted. I literally had no money, I had lost contact with the only person I knew, I had a mountain of a job ahead of me, and the only reasoning for me using up all my money and taking a horrible job just left me. I was just so tired of everything; not even sad. Long story short, I ended up attempting to commit suicide. I couldn't get to a hospital; the nearby ones were closed. I ended up dragging myself to a clinic in the morning. They gave me stitches and I went off to work. It was hell. Work was a nightmare, and I ended up having to spend most of my check stitching up my wounds so they wouldn't look so bad.... I continued the job for a year, I still have horrible thoughts about that experience. I was given anti depressants and counseling by the clinic I visited after my attempt. They helped me get through all of this. Anyway, fast forward to now, and I'm off anti depressants. I'm enjoying my job and it's keeping me busy. After going off anti depressants, I had the urge to start dating again. I've been on six or so dates and tried setting up even more. When I go on the dates, I don't feel any connection, no emotion whatsoever. I don't even feel nervous about meeting them. To be honest, the idea of dating makes me frustrated. It's something I see as a hassle. All of the girls I have met are very nice and seem great, but I feel nothing. I talk with them and do my best to make things interesting, but i just don't feel into it. Then the dates ends after four or five goes and I feel like I was super boring. At times I think maybe it's the wrong person, but another part of me wonders how I was able to stay in a relationship for four years. Anyway, I mixed up. I almost feel like after what happened, I'm completed jaded. I'm not picky and I'm extremely carefree. So many things seem trivial. Anyway, I feel like I almost want to give up on dating. I've always been kind of a loner. Maybe I just have trouble understanding people. I apologize for the input of multiple issues and he fact that my post has become a novel.

Thank you very much for the replies. You are right, maybe I should just stick with it. Unfortunately, the scars I have are still pretty visible, and every time I go on a date everyone seems to notice them. I haven't made up a good excuse for why I have them haha. I don't think I can go back into anti depressants again. They made me feel like a zombie, it was like I was stuck in a bubble and it took all my emotions away. This isn't the first time I've been on them. I agree with you on counseling. I think I will try to set something up this week.
