I used to hide it almost universally, but the not knowing how I was frustrated my family and worried them. Nowadays, I tend to be more open about my mood episodes with my friends and family, but I only go into detail with a few of them and not always then. I hide it as much as possible in public though.

It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence, to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations. They presented him the words: "And this, too, shall pass away." How much it expresses! How chastening in the hour of pride! How consoling in the depths of affliction!
