Hi, I have definatley noticed disassociation, it has somthing that has actaully changed my entire life and made me struggle to function everyday. I encountered the disassocation about a year before i even knew i had POTS. I have read books on disassocation and specifcally depersonalization, depersionalization is more of a physical expeirence like your watching yourslef live on a movie screen and disassocation is more of being mentally distant. I Have not overcome it yet but what i can tell you from the research i have done is that 1. Disassosiation/depersonalization can not harm you and can not get worse 2. depersonalization stems from anxiety speficially, it means your fight or flight hormones are working overtime (which is all the time with POTS) and 3. You should not be worried about it, i know how hard it can be to go through life with it, it will go away. If you find that depersonalizationis not gone once you have managed your pots possibly try EMDR therapy its kind of the go to for dissociation. The only way to truley get over disaccoaiation if you dont have pots is over comming your anxiety entirely. I hope this helped :)
