It just is how it is.

Of course I would like to feel the bliss, but I don't make it a priority, because who/what is feeling the bliss?...yes, it's similar to who/what is feeling the 'numbness' or the 'nothingness' or the 'detachment'?

I also have been experiencing physical disease and distress, even knowing full well that I am not the body...but that makes no difference to those sensations persisting.

After the direct realisation that I am not the body, mind...the awareness hit that I am nothing...and the experience followed through with this awareness...it all somehow became rather droll and meaningless in the bigger context of it all and I wondered where this 'bliss' was that I should be experiencing, but for some unknown reason, it totally alludes me.
