Trying mushrooms(please help)

so I've been a daily marijuana smoker for a few years now, but i really want to try mushrooms with my boyfriend. it's always sounded really appealing to me. the only thing keeping me from doing is that I'm really nervous about having a bad trip, because i have anxiety disorder. what should i do? is it normal for me to have such an interest in shrooms?

    Anxiety and hallucinogens do not mix. I'm very sorry. You might be able to pull it off if you're in a nice comfortable environment, but who knows?

    I have generalized anxiety disorder. Mushrooms and acid are spiritual calming and fun!! Caffeine and pot give me panic attacks

    If you are going to try shrooms, you must make sure that you're in a good mental state. Make sure you feel comfortable and relaxed, let go of all your worries and stress and just chill out.

    Don't even consider the fact that you MIGHT have a bad trip, because if you THINK you're gonna have a bad trip, well honey, you gonna have one bad trip.

    But if you honestly believe that you're gonna have a fun and wonderful experience, you will have less of a chance of having a bad trip.

    As stated above, make sure you're in a comfortable environment with people you love and trust. Take a small dose at first.

    Don't ever do it because you feel pressured to, only do it when you're comfortable and ready.

    Ways to avoid a bad trip:

    1. Avoid large parties and do them with people you love and trust

    2. Make sure the atmosphere, the fen shui of the room is please and all is well in your life.

    3. Remember it's just a trip and it's something to enjoy not be afraid of

    4. Lock away all sharp utensils except the pizza cutter because it may be of great value later in the evening

    5. More of a personal suggestion- I recommend buying a large bag of peanut butter m&ms and to set them in the freezer a few hours before you eat the rooms. Then eat the rooms and m&m together for best taste.

    if you are already worried about having a bad trip then its probably not a good idea to do it. but if you really want to then make sure you are with people you trust and in an environment you trust so you can be comfortable. i have never had shrooms and never want to because they are actually worse for you than acid trips but i wouldnt recommend you do that either. maybe get hold of your anxiety, then you can experiment.

    bad..bad idea! u don't wanna get anxious while on shrooms :) what i do recommend though, is that you first smoke some salvia divinorum. It comes in concentrated extracts like 10x,20x, 60x..etc. (strenght wise) . It gives u a really strong trip, but the good news is, it only lasts, 2-3 minutes, and then you're out just like nothing ever happened. :) so in case it does get bad, at least you know you're just minutes away of the happy ending. after you experiment with salvia for a while, if all goes well, you can move on to shrooms. however, i really think salvia is stronger, it just doesn't last that long.But is that a bad thing? :)

      to be honest, it's not something that is necessary in life. you don't need this. wait this craving for shrooms out for a couple of months. i'm sure after a while you won't want to do it anymore.. and then you'll be happier for it. i know people who have had horrible experiences that can last a VERY long time. there are also things like HPPD to consider (look it up).

    Do not do mushrooms if you tend to have anxiety issues. This will likely be amplified during the trip and you could have a really bad time, possibly increasing your anxiety issues for a long while after the trip. Sort out the problems that are causing your anxiety and then if you choose, do it when you feel you have gotten over your anxiety issues

    I did mine in a safe enviroment and it was a really positive experiance for me same with acid and they say i have mental disorders, I stopped fighting with in myself and felt a great relief of pain and found peace all around me.

    Set up camp first i just hate the taste the first time the second was better fast first get a vitamix all types of healthy organic berries,choclate,ice cream,yogurt, i added to types of protein powder hemp and iced choc (musahi) i make a great tasting mushy drink and had nootropics on me as a safe guard to release serotonin and dopamine through my brain if i started to have a negative experiance but realised i was in control and i really liked it, i enjoyed it better alone i was with douchebags the first time and they ruined the experiance being stupid.

    I have panic attacks and anxiety; I tried shrooms and had the worst night of my life. I was convinced that I was going to die.

    I suggest you don't do it. Good luck, if you do, but I don't recommend it.

    Who cares? Just try it. You never know, and you'll always wonder. Just do it with people around.

    Anxiety disorder? probably something you don't want to do... I could be wrong, but when I did shrooms, a couple times, I made sure that I could have a good time doing it... I made sure I didn't need to worry about work/school, I left my watch, phone, money and glasses at home (to make sure I didn't lose them, and I didn't want to think about things like phone calls, or what time it was.) When I was really high on shrooms i got concerned about the way I was behaving, but it really didn't matter, because we were all high, and there's no good way of explaining it to you, but everything I experienced was just somehow enhanced, colours were brighter, the rain seemed softer, and other shit that doesn't even make any sense... you just have to try it for yourself... but I don't know about anxiety disorders, my friend had OCD, but he did shrooms and was fine.

    If you must try, take a low dose, no more than a gram, maybe two if you're courageous. If you think weed is good for you, psychedelics will probably fool you in a much deeper way. Good trips can be the coolest experiences you'll ever have, but bad trips can stay with you, they can trick you, and the amount of regret you'll feel if you lose your mind to psychedelics will be huge (or none if you've gone far enough). I don't recommend.

    just be around people you trust. and don't be around drama. keep your mind clear. and listening to happy music helps to have a good trip. and dont eat or drink too much... if its your first time.
