I want to get back to making music, but I've been entirely empty inside. No creativity, no energy, no inspiration, no passion. What happened to me? It's like something inside me is gone. It died, or left, or went comatose.
I'll make something again eventually I'm sure but I can't do it when I feel this hollow.

Sorry to hear you're going through a difficult time creatively and emotionally. I hope you're able to push through it soon and get help if you need it.
It may seem self-serving, but I would recommend this podcast in which I cover a book about this topic: https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/782366
Or the book itself, "The War of Art" by Steven Pressfield. The audio book is at https://www.audible.com/pd/The-War-of-Art-Audiobook/B07PQ9GLDV and the physical book can be bought at https://www.amazon.com/War-Art-Steven-Pressfield-ebook/dp/B007A4SDCG
None of that can substitute for improving your physical health, getting a good therapist, or changing aspects of your life that are discouraging you; but Pressfield's way of thinking about creative motivation has been helpful for me and many other artists, writers, and musicians.
