Are you good at hiding/managing your symptoms, or do other people notice?

I'm good at hiding my depression for the most part. People don't really notice (except my pdoc and therapist). However, my old bosses at my last 2 jobs could tell when I was manic. They didn't know I was "manic" per se, but they noticed elevated mood, irritability, lack of sleep, etc..

In college, I would work in my research lab until 1 am, go to sleep, then come back at 4 or 5am. So, they would notice. I would also fight with people in the lab because I was irritable and angry.
