There is a lot of things can help you cope with BP while your waiting for meds to help
. Therapy is a must in my opinion.

Learn as many coping skills as possible. Meditation, Mindfulness,Yoga, Healthy Diet , Good sleep hygiene, journaling, Exercise. breathing exercises... The list goes on and on... Learn which ones work and your able to actually use it when needed ... I always say keep flinging coping skills until something sticks. BP needs to be attacked from all sides.

Just remember you have had BP looooong before you got diagnosed so dont freak out nothing has changed accept you now have a diagnosis/ Label ...
