Feeling a bit more hopeful today. I am again trying a basic type of meditation of counting breaths to try to not get swept away by my thoughts that can be all over the place. I didn't spend much time on practicing basics because I thought I had it down and could advance.

I was unusually calm this afternoon, while doing this basic form as I was out and about doing errands. I don't know if this will work with hypomania for me, but I hope to continue practicing it to have a better foundation when it does come again. In the meantime, I think it helps at least my anxiety.

Trying to be more mindful by doing meditation throughout the day, not just when I do a sitting meditation, works better for me to cope. Time will tell...
