I suppress my manic episodes for sure. At least, when I'm at work. At school, sometimes I do but it's easier to just be like 'I've got people here who know I've got this going on, so I'm going to let it happen'. But yes, I do suppress it. My irritability and depression, however... It's really hard to ignore. For work, I try my best... But I do suppress it. Not when I'm at home, though, unless I want everyone to think I'm okay at the moment but even then, my family can pick up on the fact that I'm not okay at the moment.
Interesting subject matter, this.
