One downside you don't see listed is "I miss my alters". That's because we're all still here, just differently. It's so obvious from the inside, even if people can't tell from the outside. It's also worth saying, when fusion happened, I wasn't suddenly healed and all better. I'm still in therapy, still trauma processing, still healing. Fusion was not an end point.
