Yes, hi, Firefly (and 2bme), welcome to PsychCentral (PC). Looks like you are doing well; you read stuff and post your own stuff in the forums you feel most comfortable/affinity to and respond to others, etc. There's lots here to see and do.

Sounds like your therapy and meds are doing well; impressed you have let your coworkers help you check for signs of mania, very brave. I had therapy sessions in the middle of a weekday so went for it and let them know I was in therapy (and occasionally acted "crazy" for my own amusement and to keep them on their toes by pretending to hit my head against the wall when frustrated (wallboard, not very hard) and snapping my cheap, drugstore magnifying glasses in two and stomping on them (they thought they were "real" glasses :-) and suffered "teasing" the morning after my therapy sessions if I was not in the best of moods ("Uh oh, Perna must not have had a good session yesterday!"). I have older siblings and am use to such teasing so it did not bother me much, helped me realize how my mood and behavior can affect others and that I'm not in a "vacuum".

Hope you both learn a lot, get some help, give some help and, above all, have a good time (check out the Games section, it can be a great stress relief or distraction)!
