How did you guys feel after being diagnosed?

I always thought I suffered bpd until I saw my gp in April and she told me she suspects bipolar. So for the last however many months I've been neglecting bpd and sitting on bipolar. Today I find out it's bpd with some bipolar traits (manic episodes specifically). He gave me medication for bipolar. Now I'm just sitting at home not knowing what to do with myself. I keep zoning out when I think of it. Is that normal? God this is weird. Completely unexpected. He seemed to make up his mind on my diagnosis within the first 10-15 minutes of seeing me. I never thought I'd actually get this far.
