One in the same

With as much time as people spend on work and school, it's hard to imagine separating work from real life. How do people go from "work-person" to "living my life person." And are those people actually different? And why would someone want to separate themselves into two different people? And that begs the question, who is the real person, and who's a fake? Or are they both aspects of the same person? Why would someone want to separate them-self? I wonder if that means that humans are intrinsically bipolar or schizophrenic. Maybe that's one of the reasons people have a hard time figuring out what they want. There are so many aspects of themselves to please.
