Last year, I ate some mushrooms with friends.

Sitting on the cough i started wondering if i had to take a piss or not, and then I got paranoia about how i might have already pissed myself.

I checked, and I wasn't sure, went to the bathroom and concluded I had not pissed myself.

Big deal, another mushroom mindfuck.

Unfortunately, when sober, this little paranoia still pops up regularly, and its especially bad in social situations.

I don't have to go to the toilet to check every time, because I know it's bullshit. But sometimes it still gets me freaked and i have to check. But in social situations you cant go walking around with your hand in your pants, so i have been starting to avoid them, unless I can drink alcohol and be free of this little fucking phobia.. I really gotta get over it because it ruins my mood badly.

It's getting better, but with summer, vacation and a girl in my sights I need more than that.

Any tips, thoughts, jokes, are more than welcome.

you can undo what you have done with an equal and opposite positive experience.

for example, next time you eat the Sacred Fungus, make sure that right before you eat them, that you piss in the toilet. also, you could set a 1-hour alarm on your watch or cell phone to remind you to piss every so often, if you have to, so that you don't have to think or worry about it whatsoever. if you do this, everytime your mind starts to freak out and say "omg did I piss myself?" you will remember that you did not piss yourself, because you are pissing every hour on a tree or in a toilet thanks to your digital reminder.

this way, you will not only make sure that your bladder is empty and relaxed, but more importantly, you will conquer your fear and paranoia about pissing yourself. you will have a splendid awesome time, and you will regain your confidence over your bladder

my 2 cents!

You could also just say "fuck it" and pee your pants on purpose one day to realize it's not that big of a deal.  In fact, it's pretty warm initially.

This statement doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
So, just because he had a weirder trip that's affecting him now, he is not fit for taking psychedelics?

I was wondering what you do immediately after the thought/feeling of urinating pops up? Do you do a mental check to confirm one way or the other, tense any muscles, have any additional thoughts (other than it's bullshit), or any other action/feeling/thought?

My tips would be, if you can, next time if it happens again, just relax into it, trust that your body knows how to regulate your urination without any conscious effort, as it has done most of your life since you were toilet trained, and then just notice the thoughts and feelings without judgment and without trying to influence them. As you relax and notice, if you started to worry, just reassure yourself that everything is ok and just wait for the feelings to change. Overtime you'll begin to have faith again in your body's ability to just take care of itself - even taking you to the toilet when it is needed.

At other times when you really have to go to the toilet and when you go, notice what the difference is compared when you don't really have to go.
