Any tips for chilling out when hypomanic? The only tool I have right now is klonopin, and that only works for a very short while.
Sleep.

Also, I try to focus on one project. I remind myself that if I can't finish this one project, then there's a pointlessness and futility in starting any others since they'll never be finished. That can easily zap me into finishing a project. The middle towards the second half of the project might feel less exciting or thrilling to execute but it's always worth it to have it completed.
