Tripping over time

After tripping for some years on and off, going through a good number of substances who knows how many times, tripping is becoming more of a pain than anything for me. Its very strange the way its developed, even with two years break between my last two batches of experiences the charm of it hasn't come back. (to clarify that last part I took two years off between trips, then took another two years off)
The experience has just become too much, it makes me feel psychotic if I trip. Very sad really. Anyone else have this happen?

Perhaps it has something to do with where you currently are in your life and you need to be in a better frame of mind.
Just a thought.

Depends on the occasion. Most recently LSD, two years ago it was mushrooms and a variety of RCs, two years before that it was mostly LSD/shrooms.

Not sure that it matters at this point, my state of mind has changed drastically between occasions and the trips seems to stay the same. There's a number of possible reasons and at least a few contribute either way, but I'm at a loss for ideas where it comes to solutions.

What substances do you trip with?
Also how's set and setting?
I've been tripping for 5 years so that's not really too long compared to many but I still love it! Some things have definitely become more intense though, like feelings of oneness when I'm around people. That can freak me out a bit.
I find it's worth it though, even the really difficult trips. For whatever reasons it just makes me a more happy and relaxed person in day to day life 
There are a couple of trips I could have done without but they're the vast minority

Psychedelics seem to make life unbearable for me now, it may have made my life easier in the past but that's certainly not the case anymore. Really expected this most recent trip to be different considering how much things have changed but that wasn't meant to be.
Guess I'm going to be entering an indefinite retirement from tripping, at this rate it'll be awhile before the whole thing becomes appealing

Hmm that's pretty interesting. What about it do you find unbearable exactly? Does it make you anxious, is it too overwhelming? Something else?
Do you think you'll ever use milder psychedelics like 2-cb?

I'll probably do that man, hear good things about it.

It seems like any dose I take puts me in a level 5 trip for a few hours, accompanied by very strange delusions. Coming out of it leaves a really bad taste. But I'm thinking about giving it a few more shots and trying to work through the problem, really just have to see through those delusions as they happen - which is easier said than done but I'd mine as well try.
Thanks for all the responses guys

What's the reason you want to trip, if it's unbearable every time? Powerful psychedelics aren't for everyone. Or maybe you are doing them in the wrong set/setting. Do you meditate? Do you set an intention for the trip? Make it productive. Or are you tripping to just trip? I feel many use psychedelics in the 'wrong' way which could lead to uneventful or bad trips. Or maybe you are just in a place where they don't really benefit you. I don't know really, there could be a million reasons. I've found it's all about your state of mind, that effects the trip more than anything else. Well also your environment to a very large degree. I'd suggest meditation before/during/after the trip. Also setting a rough "goal" or intention for the trip.

I think the issues comes from some very negative experiences I had tripping in the past, the reason I still want to persist in tripping is to work through those problems and just smooth it all out. With the door closed on those old experiences then maybe I can enjoy tripping again for what it is.
Yes I do meditate during the trip, thinking it might help to get back into the habit of meditating regularly though and approaching the next couple of trips with very small doses.
