I did manage to make an appointment with a specialist, but I don't know if I should be worried of so many changes happening to the mind at once.

welcome to the group. I'm not Multiple myself so I can't really know. But I've some Multiple friends that have experienced both of the possibilities KittyT has suggested. Some have had Alters integrate, and some have had them just become inactive and go very deep / unreachable. I'm not sure if it's always possible to tell the difference?
