Going to take some shrooms.

Ok. So I'm a shitbag right, and so far all I've taken is 0.1g to start with, then I tried 0.2g, which I felt a little bit (colours slightly brighter in my peripheral vision, etc), then the other day I tried 0.35g, but I didn't feel it as much as the 0.2, so I'm assuming a tolerance had built up slightly.
Anyway, I'm gonna do 0.35g again just now, and then try more. But, I'm shitting myself as usual. I do wish I could stop being a total pussy.
The thought of doing it is fine and good, and soon as I start preparing to do it, my heart starts to race a little and I just feel anxious and nervous. It's a fucking beautiful day though!
So, I'm thinking that since when I have them ground up in OJ I start to feel it just as fast as an alcoholic drink, then I can just keep having little bits at a time, like I would with alcohol, until I reach a nice feeling.
Good idea?

No. If you're not comfortable with it don't do it, seriously you can mentally scar yourself. And at those low doses you are not going to get much.

Lol. The problem I have with going even near 1g is because soon as I start to feel different I get very anxious, which is kind of silly since the whole point in having taken any in the first place is to feel different, not to feel completely the same as before I took it.
So, I do realise the stupidity of it all. But, still... I'm a chicken... I do have an excuse though: I have no friends, so I'm doing it alone!

Just wait till you're ready, then go with a higher dose(not too high) in the right set & setting.
If you never feel ready, just leave it be or just go with it. The anxiety is worst in the come up and it MIGHT, I don't say it will, disappear when you're reaching plateau.

The funny thing is that yesterday I was so down for doing like 0.7g since the other day I felt barely anything with the 0.35g. But since the 0.35g was literally the day before I didn't think there was any point. Now today, I'm a chicken again!!
I've taken about 0.2g at the moment. I feel kinda good. But still anxious. I'm telling myself there's no point in being anxious cause one day I'll be dead so I might as well enjoy the gift that is consciousness!
Meh. If only I had friends!

No need to be nervous! You're only eating some mushies that happens to be infused with magical powers. 
I've got no idea about the doses you write about, I've only eaten psilocybe semilanceata which I dose by counting. Even if I did trip with a friend my first time I've had a lot more beneficial experiences alone. But I'd say go for a higher lower dose or a lower medium dose and just let go and you'll have a great time.

Low doses are notoriously anxiety ridden.
Do you have high anxiety normally?
Anxiety is the come-up. You just never get past the anxious come-up because you haven't taken a full dose.
I have always done 3.5g and it is always anxious at first (come-up)... Anxiety doesn't kill you bro. Go for it: 2.5g might be a good dose.
And stop taking them so frequently and you'll get better effects rather than just anxiety.
Also do you have any anti-anxiety herbs? Maybe look into those.
GABA, Valerian, Chamomile, L-theanine, Passionflower, skullcap, St. Johns Wort.
-------------------- Favorite entheogen experiences in descending order: 1)Combo of oral DMT + smoked Bufotenine 2)Amanita (urine drank twice) 3)Mushrooms > Achuma 16"+cid(still need higher dose Achuma)> Cid (still need high dose) 4)Morning Glory-HBWR (+cumin, cinnamon aldehyde adducts) > Methyl chavicol (need more activators) 5)Salvia (need to try quid)
All readable matter in the above post is ficticious... any similarities to real life are purely coincidental. Blessing.

I smoked weed for years, and always had anxiety on that (but it goes away usually, unless I just get far too stoned!).
I think with this slight "feeling different" when I take some of the shrooms, I just worry it's going to be like being far too stoned, but amplified, and that would be horrible. I don't want it to be anything like being too stoned on weed. But sometimes it feels like it's going to be like that... Like right now! D:

You're just slowly building a tolerance to the mushies, just be in a peaceful place where you are happy. Put them on a peanut buttand

I dosed my first time alone and it was an 8th that's no excuse the lower the dose the more anxiety. The come up will be hard but once you peak you're golden.

No point in forcing this guy to eat more when he's obviously just not cut out for these drugs whatsoever. Just leave it m8, if you're scared to eat 1 gram, find something else.
The anxiety that you feel on shrooms is substantial and equal to that of 1,000 suns, the whole point is anxiety, because without the initial 'I want to die I can't do this' phase, there is no rejuvenation at the end; for me anyway.
That feeling on mushrooms, when you feel reborn and like a child again, tha happens after hours of pure fucking anxiety. It's almost essential, and for me, unavoidable.

I dunno about hours of pure anxiety. For me it is like 30 minutes maybe; then hours of
I don't do small doses since Quote:
the lower the dose the more anxiety.
You are taking just enough for anxiety and nothing else. Many people on this board feel the same way about low doses. "Go big or go home".
Maybe HostDisorder is right; and mushrooms just aren't for you (at this time). They'll be ready when you're ready to come back. No worries man; you've got the rest of your life to explore.
Maybe try working with some LSA extracts, Bridgesii cactus tea, or other non-pushy entheogens.
OTOH you could get some Salvia: that might make preliminary mushroom anxiety seem a cakewalk.

This is how I feel doing salvia. But with mushrooms like others have said, either do 3g+ or dont do it at all.

Yeah there's nothing wrong with not being ready at the moment. If you aren't comfortable at all with an intense head experience, (that can include a range of emotions) then why are you interested in psychedelics? I don't mean that in a condescending way by any means, just curious. If you do decide to up your dose, just convince yourself that the anxiety is a totally normal part of the come up and that it WILL go away if you pay no mind to it. If you dwell on the anxiety, you won't be able to let go of it. good vibes
Also, I would imagine, the more finely ground they are, the faster you will absorb them and feel the effects. I've found just eating them one at a time, chewing and chasing with a bit of water makes for the most gradual come up. and a gradual come up (for me) has the least anxiety.

You could try around 2g~ and have some Etizolam handy to put you back to baseline in case it's too intense for you.
I wouldn't imagine 0.35g doing a fat lot, especially if its cubes..

0.35 grams is.... pointless.
Take 2.5 grams. Nothing outrageous will happen, you will have closed eye visuals, you will experience a comfortable amount of the wonder of the mushrooms. I did my first trip a bit over a month ago on, I believe 2.5 grams (I didn't weigh them), and I was always in control, and it was excellent. I compared to wading in to about thigh height as opposed to "going deep".
0.35 grams is like having water up to the ankles. It's nothing.
Don't worry, it's gonna be ok!
