I am really good at hiding my depression and mania. But like playdoh it always seems to squish out at the wrong time with a misplaced comment, an email that is too harsh. Mine comes out a lot as irritability especially while driving. When I'm manic I drive too fast, lane change like crazy and text n drive. I also tend to act out sexually when I'm manic. Luckily I've never been caught by my husband or I'd be up the creek for sure. When I'm depressed, which is 90% of the time, I neglect my self care, dress down and don't talk to people. So I guess I don't hide it public too well. A lot of fake smiling, that's for sure.
