Dealing with Heavy Menstrual Bleeding: Coping Strategies

Ever since a year or so after getting my period, I've had trouble with heavy bleeding. It would keep me home from school (as if I wasn't already not attending due to circumstances) and I hated sitting/laying for too long without a toilet break. As of 2020, I've been using birth control to stop my periods completely, and through research, I've found that heavy clotting (aka 90% of what was coming out was just huge clots) is abnormal. How do you cope with it? I want to feel normal and just treat it like a minor inconvenience like everyone else, but I can't.
