First Trip/Anxiety Disorder

Hey Yall, so im in a bit of a tough place, basically i was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder a few months ago, i smoke weed weekly to varying degrees of anxiety or relaxation depending on the strain.. But now my friends are asking me to do shrooms with them.. It would be my first time and and i want to, but at the same time im afraid that it could have a very bad psychological effect on me.. Should i do Shrooms? And if i do does anyone have any advice for me? Also does going into a trip with an anxious state of mind guarantee a bad trip? (Note: Almost all of my anxiety has to do with my identity and perception of self if that makes any difference.)

its probably going to bring attention to what is causing the anxiety,
Its definitely going to bring stuff up to the surface.
im not sure if using it recreationally is going to benefit you as much as solo trips alone in silent darkness, because sensory deprivation environments are ideal for bringing on an introspective experience that you can work through without distractions.

i personally sought out mushrooms as treatment for OCD which is an anxiety disorder of sorts.

If there ever was a cure this is it in my opinion.

Since alot of my anxiety seems to manifest itself as self analysis it could be a healing process, either way ill definitely be bringing some stuff to the surface..

i say go for it if its something that interests you.
Just be prepared to have things lay out in front of you that you might not be ready to face just yet.

hey man just take a gram and a half don't overdo it. I see no reason why you shouldn't be able to have a good time and maybe learn something about yourself. I've been taking mushrooms for a while now and I still get nervous and anxious before a trip just sayin

Your concerns are quite valid and it's great that you ask these sorts of questions before any experience. That being said, the mushrooms are one of the best medicines for treating anxiety. Keep in mind that a "bad trip" is just a learning experience where the mushroom shows you what your issues are. It is through these experiences that you can evaluate yourself sort of from the outside which helps you solve the issues that cause the problem. Your experience may be full of light and beauty but even if it gets a bit dark, just ride it out. It will also help to go out to nature for your experience. I wish you the best of luck.

You can also take small amounts of benzos and have a somewhat productive trip btw.
Everyone will say no, but I am talking from experience. That should be a last resort for you though.
Sometimes it makes people feel more relaxed if they just have some nearby! If shit hits the fan and it is too much they are there.
Dont mix meds or anything because of my statement. Be safe
Maybe a +5 will ease things up a little!

The first time I tripped shrooms was the best day of my life. I HAD PTSD to a severe degree with what I experienced in my years. Anxiety like a mofo. Shrooms bridged the gap in my mind to what I was missing all along.
Anxiety went way down. I became compassionate, caring, giving... I let it change me for the better and welcomed my first experience with open arms.
When you are ready, you will have no doubts. It's best to have a clear mind, but then again, when is that ever the case? Rarely.
Give it a go. Start with 2g if it's cubensis and work your way up.

If it makes you feel any better, search:
"Psilocybin and anxiety" via Google. There's been some updated research that shows promise for its medical benefits and possibly neurogeniesis. Being that I'm the shroom person in my area, I've guided many trips for first timers, well over 50x.
The common theme is that 2g is not nearly as heavy or crazy as one would think, but it can affect people differently. Better to start off on the low end.
