Was discovering you have aphantasia upsetting for anyone else?

I read an article about aphantasia a couple days ago, just stumbled on it, and realized that I have complete aphantasia. I've been feeling a kind of vague depression about it ever since, like a new distinct feeling that something is missing, even though I've been like this my whole life. I started sobbing just reading the article, making these connections.

I guess I'm just wondering if this is normal, did anyone else in this community grieve over the loss of... something we've never had anyway?
