So then on I took it as I was two people as one and learned to cope with the other personality.

Just something that jumps out at me.....you said your other side is an imaginary friend... here in the USA the diagnostic criteria says DID type alters can not be imaginary friend type personalities even if they have taken on a life of their own that diagnostic criteria knocks out the diagnosis of DID.
my suggestion is contact your treatment providers, they can help you to understand what type of alter this other side is (there are many different mental disorders and types of alters) and they can do diagnostic evaluations that can help you to figure out whether this is DID or a different type of alter.
