I cannot "read" people's emotions or feelings at all unless they are clearly spoken to me.
I've been on all SSRIs and they just made me very suicidal. Then when I came off of them, the withdrawal syndrome lasted for more than 5 years. I also think I've sustained some kind of brain damage during the Withdrawal syndrome because I now have severe, suicidal insomnia.
