I have a bit of a strange question. I never heard anyone mention this problem before. I can't feel atmosphere. You know how lets say one would go into a church and feel hollyness from a church? Well you get similar atmosphere feelings from other situations, like going into someone's house, except the atmospheres don't always have specific names like "hollyness". But I can't feel them anymore! I'm on medication for an anxiety, so that might be it, but I'm not sure.
I have a strage feeling I already posted this, but I'm not sure, so sorry if I did.

tone
moodit might be something like that.

could that be a sort of mild anxious thing?
don't really know.
is it disturbing that you don't have it any more or just different?

Hi.
Depression itself can leave one numb to their surroundings. So can some medications. For me, I feel like the walking dead from depression. I can't "feel" the atmoshere of an environment anymore.

Yes, I'm ok, thank you Phillipa :)
And no it's not really disturbing...actually I can hardly recall what atmosphere feels like anymore;p But I know it's missing.

Sounds like what several people that I know that have tried Paxil say...and why some of them stopped taking it. Actually, Paxil was the best drug I ever took for panic, but after 2 years, it stopped working, so again, YMMV.
