I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions or tips on how to deal with hypomania and the comedown afterwards?  Im on medication but I was just wondering if there was anything else I could do or if I just have to wait it out?

SLEEP. If you can't sleep, then dark therapy.

Thank you Ill try both of those.  Its just really hard to make myself go to sleep, even my medication that usually knocks me out wont put me to sleep

If not sleep, rest is good, or something that will make the time pass a litlte quicker, like a movie, or a book, if you could manage those. Playing cards/game? Computer game? But then you do have to go to bed. Not up all night.
Also, fresh air is good to promote sleep. Know how little kids get "knocked out"? Can your friend and you take a brisk walk tonight?
So glad you are with a friend and safe.
Doing great !
