I also had trouble with body distortions. Like my left ankle would be swollen to twice it's size but only to me.
But I guess that could've been the BDD too, which is better now as well. (Body Dysmorphic Disorder)
Depersonalization Disorder - a feeling that your body is unreal, changing or dissolving. Strong feelings that you are detached from your body.
Derealization Disorder - an alteration in the perception or experience of the external world so that it seems strange or unreal.

How did you get rid of these dissociation symptoms? Were you in therapy or what medications worked for you? I am really very desperate to know of anything that can help as I am suffering very badly and my life is ruined by these awful symptoms. Go well.
