Anxiety edgy relief help

Hey shroomery, thought I would come here for some advice. So I've been a fungi eater for almost a year now. Do it about once a month and I've had my highs and lows aka bad trips. Luckily I've came on here and get the advice I need to avoid another epidemic. Anyway, my last few trips, I'm starting to see a pattern. Every time I take shrooms (strains vary) I take about 3-4 grams and I start to feel on edge and have really bad anxiety at first. I try so hard to push through it as I know eventually it will subside and I can do what you call "flow down the river" and enjoy the visuals and vivid trips, but it can get difficult. I get really bad stomach aches and sometimes I don't but still discomfort. Last experience I started pacing and I couldn't sit still. I felt like I made a mistake and this isn't the first time. I tell myself I'm fine but unfortunately my mind just makes me feel like shit. Last experience I ended up vomiting and then I had to just force my self to lay down and close my eyes. My friends were just chilling and some left me there to avoid absorbing my shitty attitude. Eventually after laying there bundled up I ended up sitting in a world of neon pyramids and these black long entities with symbols on their head were touching me. I wasn't scared but more curious as I felt like I was peering into another world. Anyway after what felt like an eternity I fell back to earth and I opened my eyes and everything felt great. I started just "wowing" at everything around me and all my friends came back out and we all discussed the visuals and life etc. So what I'm asking is besides smoking weed (I can't due to work) what can I do to alleviate the tension and anxiety? I mean sometimes it gets really bad and I start to feel a minor panic attack. I hate it. But after 30-45 minutes it's like I am born again. And it's always like clock work, I visit another world with an entity or entities that talk to me or show me something and then I awake and totally fine. I still remember one time, I was in a blue and black checkered world and I was standing there and wind current was blowing hard and this black entity was pointing at this sphere and in this sphere was my "anxiety" and "nausea". The alien thing just pointed at it and everything inside exploded and I just awoke taking a deep breath and boom my nausea was gone. And I felt great! It's so weird. Maybe this is something I have to experience? It just sucks sometimes. I like seeing these "things" or "alien like" creatures as they always seem to help me, but fuck the anxiety can come so strong. What's your guys opinion? My friend said he takes xanex prior but I don't want anything to take me away from a good pure trip. So is there a herbal supplement, stew, etc I can take prior? Sorry for any grammatical errors, I'm on my phone. Any advice would appreciated.

I have the same problem but only with mushrooms, not acid. I also get anxiety from cannabis. I'm not sure if there is a way to avoid it. Sorry, bud. I just curl up in a ball till it goes away. If I'm going to trip with other people I just take acid. One of my friends has the opposite, anxiety on LSD but none on mushrooms, I think it's just brain chemistry. Good luck.

The psychedelic shows you the toxins in your life and setting; the psychedelics themselves are not the toxins. The mushroom is a great teacher, but it takes a student willing to learn what he is shown, rather than one looking for what he was told to see.

It's a common misunderstanding people have about psychedelics, don't worry.
There is no such thing as a bad trip; lessons can be learned from even the most difficult experiences.
Just take a moment to think about what anxiety and discomfort actually are, and think about any common habits and activities that might be harming you more than you think.
My responses might not make sense, but they are directly addressing your problem as described. I can't help much more than this; you must come to understanding it on your own. Take care!

every trip was what I needed but not always what I wanted.
I dont know if this rings true with everyone but I recently thought over all my trips and this statement absolutely rings true

For sure, I always learn a good lesson that puts me on a better path or at least makes me aware of that path.
