Since march, I've felt that feeling of emptiness inside me growing stronger and stronger, I can't even enjoy vidya, anime, movies, and tv shows as much as I used to. So far, I'm not suicidal, but I'm just empty. How do you deal with this feeling? Should I go out more with my m8's, or just go for a long midnight walk?

Do something :^)

I wouldn't consider this feeling for boredom, it's much more than that.

That actually really does sound like depression. Depression doesn't mean you're sad all the time - it often manifests as an inability to enjoy things that used to bring you pleasure.
Do some research on the internet for depression support resources in your city, you might find a group you can join. At the very least, you can connect with other people who are going through the same thing as you.

I'll look into it more, I guess. Do you have any more tips?

Yes.
Don't neglect your basic self care. Make sure you get fresh air, exercise, and eat well. Not saying you have to go to the gym and bulk up, just get your blood pumping a few times a week. Eat fresh fruits + veg, and some healthy proteins. This won't get rid of your health problems, but it will raise your energy and keep you clear-headed, which will help you manage whatever comes next.
If you drink alcohol, or smoke tobacco or weed, keep a very close eye on your consumption. Self-medication is extremely dangerous. Consider asking someone to keep your stuff for a while.
Get dressed and shower every day, even if you don't have any plans, just to avoid getting in the habit of staying in bed.

Thanks, anon! Enjoy the rest of your day.

You too. Just by noting that you don't enjoy the things you used to, you've shown some very good self-awareness. That'll be very useful. Check in with yourself and trust yourself.
