What do you do when you have a bad trip?

I thought it would be interesting to read what you guys do when your trips go bad.
In my opinion, bad trips are really horrible and annoying, but I discovered how to deal with them. When I feel a bad trip coming on, I relax on my bed and put on a jacket if im cold, then I just let the bad trip commence and do whatever it pleases. Once I let the bad trip go wherever it pleases, that's usually when my trip starts to get good and controllable. I find bad trips uncontrollable in most ways, thats why all I do is wait them out by watching TV or laying on my bed.

Yes, that works. I personally like to take some xanax or k-pins, something along the line of benzo's. It make the trip very euphoric, it's a good vibe to fall asleep too. If those aren't available I like to wrap up in some blankets or some place warm and fuzzy if possible and just vegg and let my mind ride it out. I usually come out of those in a whole differnt mindset. I can see how mushies can have a spritual effect at that moment.

I stopped tripping around 3 years ago, but what I did was lay on the floor close my eyes and wait it out. Really only had a couple of short bad parts out of maybe 200 trips into the unknown.

It's funny though. The best way I can tell if I'm going to have a good trip, is if I can see mushroom patterns on everything I see.
When I was peaking on my most recent trip, I was having the best time, and every time I would look at a wall or any fabric, I saw shroom patterns all over it.
When I'm going to have a bad trip, my CEVs are just random, disturbing pictures... Like cartoony heads exploding and weird looking creatures with bulging eyes. But I haven't experienced anything like that in a long time.

Your bad mushroom trips sound intense like acid trips. I have tripped had on mushies but not as you discribe. I don't see patterns, like I do on LSD.

I just see patterns manifested in objects.
If I have a threaded board, that's just threads, my brain would show me patterns on it that I never saw before, and ones that I can't see sober.
I don't see like crazy geometrical shapes, I just see the outline of the shrooms in the materials I look at. Kindof like if you look at a plaster wall and see aztec drawings on it. If i'm having a really good trip, instead of seeing aztec drawings I see shrooms.

Bad trip imo can't be cured by anything else than sitting the trip out , trying to think about positive things help but the mind is strong so it doesn't always sort the problem , some mj helps , bad trips tend to happen when the set and setting is not right , mushies to me are almost always positive but cid has given me one or two nightmarish experiences....

Call my best friend. I was having the worst trip of my life, called up my friend, he said if I wanted to hang out. As soon as we met up my trip went from hell to euphoria.
EDIT: Wait now that I think about it... I didn't call him. He just showed up. How crazy is that?

bad and good lose a lot of meaning in these situations
when it goes 'bad', when its not exactly what you were expecting, therein lies the problem. you were expecting a certain reaction from a volatile chemical. let it ride, youre just in a series of rapids. cool diving pools are around the corner

I am tripping right now, and I can tel you that time has no meaning. It is neceseary that you let the substance evoke the "bad" experience. The experience of miscomfort, agony, anxiety, will roll over and take you somwehere better.
At least this how I am thnking of it currently.

If I get anxious, I just relax, realize its all in the mind........if it was really bad, I take Trazodone and abort in about 15 minutes completely. But now that I have Trazodone laying around, I don't have bad trips because I realize I can come down anytime. And its the feeling that something unknown is going to happen that always freaks me.

I have never had an entirely bad trip, but the ride up usually comes with some discomfort. I think the true psychedelic experience is an unpredictable blend of joy and panic. Anything less is just getting high.
The best thing to do to avoid a total freak out is stop trying to rationalize like you do when you're sober. Make your motto "fuck it" for the relatively short period of time that you're tripping. Enjoy yourself. Be yourself. Don't trip with people who you can't be yourself around. Don't compare your trip to any other, anyone else's, or to your sober mind. Save all rational thinking for the ride down. Meanwhile, just flow with all the randomness. The worst thing you can ever do is believe you have complete control.

I found out that saying fuck it to everything is really good when youre tripping.
In order to have a real good trip, I have to not give a shit about ANYTHING.
Although, most of the time I have bad trips cause shrooms make my body very uncomfortable when I try to stand up. I get nauseous when I stand up and my body feels like its too heavy, thats when I just lay down and enjoy it.
When tripping off 1g+ I can't feel my limbs. I look down and see my arms and ask myself "What are these?" and then I realize its just my arms.

I learn.
But to be honest, bad trips don't exist... Experience is far more neutral than that.

Generally I become introspective and find a way to resolve my anxiety, which actually lasts past the end of the trip (I have an improved mood for up to a month afterward, and the change can be permanent), but if I can't pull myself out of a thought loop, I just change my scenery. If I'm not tripping too hard and it's nice outside, I might go cycling. If I am tripping hard, I just listen to music that gives me good vibes, like Grateful Dead, or watch an uplifting movie, like Brother Sun Sister Moon.

Sing a good song my friend.
I think there's something to learn from yourself anytime you encounter a bad trip. Figure out why you have allowed your mindset to go bad.

That hardly works for me. I know its not real its just the way my brain on shrooms make me percieve it. Some things that I don't think are scary can be very disturbing on shrooms.

Wow, I was certainly tripping when this happened. When I have bad experiences during tripping, I try to find the most comfortable environment possible and relax or socialize if there are people. At the end of the above trip, I started getting some difficulty- mainly because I was tried of tripping and ready to be sober after 4 hours of tripping. So I went into my room, and played Native American meditation music for the last 20 minutes of my trip. This was GREAT for coming down and got rid of all the negative aspects.

Generally when I have a bad trip I'm inside a house. All I have do usually involves going outside for a walk if I can or finding a nice quiet spot with a tree to lay under. All in all I feel like mother nature just takes care of me.

If Im indoors and near a computer, I watch this
and im happy again
I never have bad trips outside, feel too free, indoors can be very constricting sometimes
cars are worse, I never get in them while tripping "Im supposed to get in this giant metal box with wheels?"
