I have acquired aphantasia.After giving unsuccessful CPR to a family member I developed PTSD with vivid flashbacks ,hypervigilance, reduced empathy, anhedonia. As the flashbacks became less vivid and less frequent I found some difficulty creating imagery for some of my meditative practices. After a viral illness that had me quite ill I recovered and had no PTSD flashbacks and had completely lost ability to visualise. Anecdotally I also stopped painting and now have difficulty with complex jigsaw puzzles, planning complex travel routes in my head. After that viral illness I then got COVID and have now have had Long Covid forover2 years with many autonomic issues.D
