Welcome to MSF. It's normal to feel overwhelmed just after diagnosis and it does get easier with time. Are you seeing a psychiatrist and therapist? Both are great resources.
The best reference I have is Psych Education which is written by a psychiatrist who specializes in BP. He has tons of information about diagnosis, treatments, the disease, etc.
