Normal. I'm bilingual and studying linguistics at the moment :)
Although you only switch accents, I suppose it's as if you switched languages. Your brain adapts to the situation...
I think it would be hard to forcedly try and talk only in one accent. I know I can't seriously talk to my parents in my other language (even though all of us can speak it), it's unnatural.
Of course if you want to talk with an English accent full-time, it not impossible, but you might as well realise that don't feel comfortable with it and/or that you constantly have to think about the way you talk.
IIN to use different accents/dialects????
