I have aphantasia self diagnosed, my mum used to shout at me saying I must see something when she asked me to imagine something and I said all I could see was black.  So when I read an article about aphantasia I was glad I wasnt going mad.  I have lived away from my family for 15 years as my husband and I moved to Australia from England at the age of 45.  I do not miss England, I do not think about missing family, my dad passed away 10 years ago.  I dont miss him and recently my mum passed away, I felt sad at the time when she passed away but I dont feel that sadness anymore as my daily life is the same in another country to them.  So dont feel bad you are not the only one.
