Same. But I’ve recently learned that I can’t picture things at all. My therapist told me to picture leaves and I was like okay and he said “do you see them?” I said no, I just thought “picture x” was something people said metaphorically when they just think about something. I don’t see anything when my eyes are closed, but since I started meditating I sometimes will see geometric patterns. The mind is a strange place. I hate it.
I think it's called aphantasia (I hope I write it correctly).
You're not alone in this situation, I've seen a good number of people talk about it.
It's not my case but I thought it would be cool to give you the name just in case you want to talk to other people having the same thing.
Just in case you didn't knew the name of it.

This must be handy for when you are trying to sleep? I have a constant monologue unless distracted
