You do sound Bi-Polar, so they probably hit the nail on the head. The fact that they diagnosed it means you DON'T hide it well at all, but being blind to this is one of your symptoms no doubt.
I don't hide everything. That would defeat the purpose, wouldn't it? Just things like self harm and wanting to die and outwardly hurting others that would get me locked up possibly without regards to my consent.
Bi-Polar is a severe condition, so they were able to see the extreme tendencies, they wouldn't diagnose you otherwise. And yes, part of Bi-Polar is not being in touch with reality to the extent perceived.
You aren't in control, you just "think" you are.
I had to live in a mental hospital for two weeks with all kinds of people. The Bi-Polar ones acted fairly normal until they spoke, and then they become obvious. The doctors see more than you think, it's their job to do so.
Is it normal that I hide my tendencies from therapists?
