One thing the Internet has been good for has been finding people with similar conditions. Knowing that many people can see images on demand alleviates some of my confusion; "Imagine yourself on a beach" to relax never made much sense to me. I do feel I'm missing out somewhat on richness of experience. When I try to visualize it's as if there's just a texture to the blackness in my mind, like a handprint in mud. I recently learned about Severely Deficient Autobiographical Memory (SDAM). It's hard to tell based on textual descriptions, but it does seem to relate to aphantasia and the fact I can't recall most of the past, whether it be ten days or ten years ago.
