Here's an alternative explanation. May be totally bonkers - you have been warned. :) Perhaps the building itself is affecting you? After years of trying to figure out some immediate family health issues, I eventually found out that my home office had huge amounts of hidden mold behind the walls. One of the downstream health effects of that is that I'm now overly sensitive to... stuff. There now are buildings, stores, corners of stores that I can't think or talk well in. I start forgetting words right away and conversation is hard. And through this I've met quite a few other people that are also hypersensitive to things and places, though with different symptoms than mine. Others I know get sad, or angry, or believe people don't like them, when in places that don't do them well. This seems to have a lot of similarities: There's a place that your body doesn't want to go to beforehand. It takes a day and some to recover after being there. You feel like people don't like there. You feel like you have a hard time talking there. You been having increasing depression since you started going there. Not sure how you would test this theory out. The building problem doesn't have to necessarily be mold. Could be something else that doesn't do you well. Given that you have had good relationships with coworkers before, and these kinds of thought patterns are not your norm, I'd consider it most likely that the problem is not you. If you are full of dread about going every time, and getting increasingly depressed, GTFO. Good luck!
