Conjoined alters?

Someone inside told me that years ago, she and another person inside joined together and became the same person. I know that back in middle and high school I had a personality that I thought was just "another side" of me and I would find myself doing unusual things that I would never do and going by that name more often than not (I don't even remember 95% of middle/high school which was only between 2003-2007). Her name was Rosalind and for I'd say 2 years she was my other half I recognized (this is long before I understood that the other side was not me). Anyway, someone in here told me that Rosalind was her own thing, and She (I don't know her original name from back then) was her own thing that I had not met or known yet, and then somehow they joined together and became one personality, Victoria.

Now what I don't understand is how that could happen? How can two personalities become one, is that even possible or is she creating a story for me to believe? I remember Rosalind vaguely, and I never remembered anyone else except I do remember "Jack" having an impression on my world around me back then. Is there a way I can bring Rosalind back or should I let her be and move on? Would bringing her back separate Victoria from her or would she remain the same? All these questions came to mind and now I'm not so sure if everyone is what they seem to be since I'm still getting a grasp on what they've been doing without my knowledge for as long as they've been around.

It feels like the more I sit down and talk to these people the more they spring on me to think about. Ugh! My head is spinning!

First of all for me to split up into diferent identies is cool and strange at the same time..so for two to merge to one is not so strange. The other question why would you want to bring Rosalind back? Would this benefit you in some way?
If you are having a hard time believeing what you are told or if you think it is a story just wait and see what happens later. The brain only remembers the truth and if the story changes too much over time then it is up to you what you believe. The truth checks out.. lies do not. As to the other questions I am not sure. Just thought I would offer my insight on this.

Thank you for your insight . I don't necessarily have a reason for wanting to bring her back, I was just morbidly curious if it would be possible to find her again and if I could how that would effect Victoria. Whether or not that's a bad idea, I don't know. I'm one of those people who analyzes everything and finds things that are odd or out of reach to be interesting... Some part of me wants to reunite with my older half of myself and some part wants to know what she knows of that time in my life. No one else would really know it all for those years but her, maybe the others have ideas but none of them were out like she was. And maybe I'd be asking for too much to add yet another person to this mess, so it's probably not a bright idea to try and find her .

Yes, two or more alters can become one. Memories, personality traits, etc. from both alters, combine, to make one alter. It's like integration, except they're not joining with the host. Victoria should have the memories that Rosalind had, so try asking her about those periods of time that you're missing.

If Rosalind separated, "Victoria" would not exist, since "Victoria" is a combination of the two girls. Rosalind and the other girl would most likely be back to how they used to be. It might be possible to split them up, but you don't seem to need her back. You can probably get the information about what went on while Rosalind was out from Victoria, and splitting them up would kind of be the opposite of healing

Were you in therapy then? Would anyone on the outside know what it was like for you before the merge? Try looking at a school yearbook. Is there anyone there that can help you?

You are very welcome

Huh that makes a lot of sense canolime. That would be pretty counter-productive now that you mention it hehe. If I ask or Vicky goes back far enough maybe I can learn a bit from that time. I hope so at least. It's stressful having that gap in memory that I never noticed was missing before my boyfriend asked me about times we had together and I didn't know what he was talking about .

mmscandy I was in therapy then but I have no memories of any of the sessions except maybe a few bits and pieces. No one on the outside knows anything about me to be honest so that won't help either (damn!). I think if I wait and see where Victoria goes with this she might bring more things to my attention hopefully.

I think my questions have been answered here, thanks guys . I won't try and dig any deeper than this for now.
