Split

A lot of stress, anxiety, depression, trauma over a long period of time may lead to a state of Dissociative Identity Disorder or Multiple or Split Personality Disorder. This disorder is a defence mechanism created by the mind to remove the effected person from the trauma, depression, stress or anxiety. People who suffer from Dissociative Identity Disorder or Multiple Personality Disorder often have one or more seperate identities which effect their behaviour in different environments. And the person doesn't remember what happens when the other identity takes over. It's seems there's a gap in memory or the person seems to hallucinate. It effects the persons ability to connect with reality

Although Jim Carrey made it look funny in the movie "Me, Myself and Irene", it's actually painful for the person suffering and equally painful and confusing for the people around. Although this disease is very rare but if we see someone suffering from such, we should be patient with the person and supportive.

So try to avoid stress and anxiety. Don't keep pent up feelings or trauma to yourself. Don't hesitate speaking your heart out. Those suffering from the same can always connect to me to speak your heart out over a chat. A hearty request please don't pent up your feelings and stress yourself.
