Wow thanks for the tips! This is very helpful. I can totally relate. Though I always struggle with meditation I will give it a try again. Just makes me feel even more alone in there :D do you have any guided meditations that are good? I also will try the grounding techniques, so I can fill my mind with stuff to think about or to concentrate on. Thanks for the replies. I didn't think I could explain it that we'll, but your replies made me feel understood.
Hi, Thank you for your description! I recently found out about aphantasia through a interview on YouTube (Anthony Padilla, very good interview!) So I started to read about it. I was always struggling as to know if I have aphantasia. Your description and the comments below made it clearer that I apparently do have aphantasia... It was always hard for me to explain how I don't see the images, but kinda do or know about how stuff looks without seeing them?! Your description totally fits as I experience it. Thanks for finding words for me!! I always annoy my friends with questions like, "how does it look in your mind" and "does the image in your head get darker when you lie in the dark or do you get dazzled by it" the answers are amazing to me!! I am happy to have found this community and am interested in more information or even studies. I am an art therapist and wondering if this affects my work or my view of the pictures at all Greetings from Germany Viola
