Not an american, but bottling something up means more like keeping something inside oneself. Like a wish, or trauma.

We have that too (UK), but here, when used without the "up" part, "bottling it" and "losing your bottle" means getting scared and deciding not to do something.

Essentially, bottle = courage.
