Split personalities and Identity crisis.

I have a tag that comes to me quite naturally by chance or by choice, I do not know. they say I am some sort of an ambivalent entity that comes with the nature of unpredictability ingrained. Theatrical was a word once associated with me, till they realized it was quite natural, an idiosyncratic pattern that came with being me.
 Melpomene and Thalia incarnated in one perhaps, others wrote it off as the early symptoms of some sort of a mental disorder. It is true that a face with mobile features and animated expressions led to the mass belief, disgust and delight came so often and so stark that it supported their theories.

It all went fine by me. I never have believed in what people have believed and I never do look at self from the lens of the critiques or the admirers, but then came the conflict between the identities. It was when my own pendulum swing like moods began to take a toll on me. A switch somewhere that turned on and off leading to an erratic behavior that was as inexplicable to me as it was to the rest. Thalia and Melpomene amalgamated with Lyssa and  Maniai,  it was a concoction of lethal ebbs and rises that could wipe sanity from its roots.It had blown away quite a few external influences that keep a person in the reachable terms when it comes to reality and practicality.
When in in-cognizance, it's a split personality but when realization of the same sets in, it transforms to a severe sickness, an Identity crisis.

Introspection and soul searching follow such abnormalities and a control over such tendencies is like suppressing the inner self.Acceptance comes gradually. Psychiatric studies say though .01% of the population is diagnosed, many people who complain of an out of the body experience might be undetected . I still wonder if an undetected, subdued syndrome has led to such a contrast in my behavior patterns. 6.99% of the worlds population shares the state if that is the case.However observing an odd entity recently changed my opinion on self, when I prodded further, it was simply shrugged off as fluctuating temperament. Sounds more like a euphemism to me, but the cheerful part of me accepted the explanation and applied it to self . Identity crisis no more. It's good to be unpredictable, leaves your friends amused and foes intimidated.
