I was recently diagnosed with bipolar and I did the same thing. I got to be a little obsessed and learned quite a bit of information in a very short time. A diagnosis like this one is a huge deal and it's important to learn about it. When I was prescribed meds, I did the same thing too in regards to the obsessing a bit. Like I said, it's important to be informed. If you feel like you are going overboard a bit, just slow down a little. Eventually the "excitement" (for lack of a better term) will pass, you'll be comfortable with what you have learned so far, and you can take a step back and begin to process it hopefully looking at the big picture and staying positive. Good luck!
