Is anyone diagnosed with depersonalization disorder and trying to/ playing poker seriously, how do you deal with your disease and how does it reflect and correlate?

I have a condition called persistent migraine aura and get pretty intense depersonalization at times. It doesn't effect my poker playing at all unless I have a bad migraine with it. I'm not sure why you would think that it does unless you had some kind of nausea or physical pain accompanying it.

Do I qualify for this disorder if I've often done things, or found myself in the process of doing things, and thought 'wtf am I doing', but then followed through anyway because backing out would feel too much like fail?
