Sometimes I feel like I'm bi polar or at least have 2 personalities because the good personality gets trapped inside and is looking at the mean personality messing up her life through a strong glass barrier and she can't do anything to stop her. Then the bad personality leaves and the good one is left picking up the pieces.

Bipolar is more about moods, varying between two extreme states (not always happy and sad). Good and evil doesn't come into it at all.

Of course, good and evil doesn't come in with the other option(s) either.

People often have more than one state. You act one way with one group of friends then are completely different at school or work. Sometimes you get caught in these behaviors and end up doing something that you wouldn't ordinarily do. It is easy for some people to start shifting these behaviors away from them because treating them like they belong to another entity means that you yourself didn't do them.

There can also be more than one person living in a body. The difference is that this person isn't just a state or a personality of another person. They have their own states and own quirks. They're people. And like all people, you won't have a good one and a bad one. You may think someone’s bad because they have different wants or needs than you do. You may assume that someone’s mean because they keep changing everything but really you’re just going in opposite directions.

We can't tell you where you fall. Only you know your experiences and yourself. Examine the 'good' and 'bad' behaviors. Talk to the ‘personalities'. See if they’re people. Find out if you can work together.
