Bipolar people can be incredibly talented actors, many famous actors ARE bipolar, so I don't think that will be a strike against you if you disclose.
I have some people who I am accountable too also, but mostly I just ride the mania until it gets uncomfortable.. Then I call in the heavy guns... My Pdoc/therapist. He's the last resort, and he will knock me the **** out if that's what I need!
