I've just been diagnosed too. From what I've read, there's no cure. You learn tricks to deal with the symptoms and of course take your medication regularly.

I feel a sense of shame with the diagnosis. Like if I have to fill out a form and tell my diagnosis, I don't know if I'll be able to. I might just say bipolar disorder, which I was originally diagnosed with.

So I can understand your shock. But there is some comfort in knowing there's a diagnosis and a way to treat it. I highly recommend getting a therapist, because that's where you'll find ways to deal with stuff.
