in general yes it is possible for someone to harm their self because they cant handle things like stress, life and hard memories. in general people do all kinds of self injury acts and suicide when things get to be too much for them.
I cant say whether this will happen to you. only you and your treatment providers know whether you have a history of having / being suicidal /self injury thoughts /actions and what your triggers for such actions are.
my suggestion since you and your alters are worried about this, it would be a good topic to discuss with your treatment providers. My treatment providers were very helpful and understanding with the topic of suicide/self injury and we have a contract in place for such times. maybe your treatment providers have rules and guidelines about suicide and self injury so that they can help you through this safely.
