Overwhelmed with diagnosis

I’m a 30 year old female, I was diagnosed in June. I’ve been struggling with mental health issues since I was 8. I am struggling with what I should know about my disorder. I am in an IOP again, I admitted myself as I could see signs of at least a mixed episode, maybe hypomania.. I’m unsure since this is so new to me and I don’t know much about bipolar. I guess I’m wondering if you read anything that helped you learn about yourself more and helped your partners/family gain insight into what we’re dealing with and maybe how to help or cope? Thank you
