I will try this at some point, but
Any advice for those of us with little-to-no mental imagery?
Once when I was sad I used a thing which I think I saw on LW, of typing out my thoughts as they occured. It sounds kind of similar to this; any relation? (It helped me to feel better, but I haven't had occasion to use it since; and it hadn't occured to me to do it when not-sad, but maybe I will now that it has occured to me.)
can you imagine just a marque of words scrolling by?
I can't. I can maybe-sortof-vaguely imagine a marquee, but I can't put words on it. I don't know how to imagine words except by thinking them.
(The extent to which I can imagine a marquee is: I can't see anything, or even "see" anything, but I sort of get an impression of a banner held between two poles. Similarly if I try to imagine a field, I sort of get an impression of something green and spiky. The impressions are very weak. I don't even know if I'm actually imagining these things, or just imagining that I'm imagining them, or if there's a difference.)
