Once I got online during the night and asked an online friend to call me.

I had zero memory of any of it.

I'm not sure. I know my therapist has said dissociation would be expected with the degree of PTSD I have had but I also have little PTSD left generally after some intense therapy. Mostly what I've done has been while asleep or recently soon after anesthesia that I had a hard time kicking. So maybe but I really don't know. On the other hand my therapist and I had a disagreement last week and I shut down to the point I didn't remember the rest of the session. So there's that kind of thing too. My pdoc has never mentioned it that I remember.
