![]() ![]() There are schools of thought that hold dissociation as a beneficial self-defence/self-preservation. 'Dissociative disorder' is a term, okay, a name, a convenient construct.Īnyone and everyone can experience some mild form of dissociation with alcohol, whether they are aware of it (the term or the 'symptom') or not. The thing is, everyone has a mind with a capacity for dissociation. It's saying it can only occur to someone having a dissociative disorder. You're confusing causation with correlation. That something would exaggerate dissociative effects, therefore causing a dissociative state.

Is this possible, or has anyone else had these problems? My theory on this is that the dissociative disorder would exaggerate the dissociative effects of alcohol, which would result in a sort of amnesia. I know that a lot of people forget stuff when they drink, but if I am drinking alone or with one other person, I have complete command over my actions and words, and can recall each and every event of the night, no matter how much I drink. This is a huge problem because sometimes I end up doing things to hurt myself or loved ones, things that I don't even see myself capable of. I don't even have to be drunk, just two or three drinks and I will have no recollection of the night. That said, when I drink at parties, I invariably black out the entire night and do things that are very out of character for me. My depersonalization is at its worst when in groups of people and crowds (I probably have some social anxiety too), so whenever there is more than one person present in the room, I completely zone out.
