Shroom panic

So, I took about 3.5 grams of some pretty potent fresh cubes yesterday. To be honest, It seemed to feel more like a 1.5-2 gram dried trip. Some nice visuals, got to watch the ground breathing and was starting to see some geometric patterns in the trees. While I was walking home, about 1.5 hours in, I started to get the feeling that a panic attack was coming on. I have been diagnosed with moderate to severe depression and I was tripping alone at the time. I was able to suppress it, but it kept coming on and off for about 30-45 mins. Im not sure if this could just be a set/setting issue or what (Didn't have the best day yesterday, was arguing with my mom on the phone). TBH, yesterday actually didn't feel quite like the right to trip, but I did anyways. But what are some good tips to avoid panicking or at least suppress those feelings?
(Note: This experience has in no way deterred me from experiencing the psychedelic state, but rather, has intensified my interest for this profound state of mind as I believe I may be able to learn much and set my life in a forward path)

You answered your own question. Don't trip if you're already in a shitty place mentally. Say sorry to your mom and eat some more.
honestly if my mom and I had an argument that'd probably fuck with me. My trips lean towards family more often than not.

I agree, just try to be in a better mindset. I've taken shrooms when I've been in a slightly bad mindset, I just try and let go of the problems and hate on the come up, that way I can take on the perspective on fixing it, or whether it is even that important. I've had mini panic attacks but never something that lasted that long.
Also are you sure they were fresh? Having a seemingly 2 gram trip on 3.5 grams of fresh mushrooms... Those most be incredibly potent.

Tripping in a shitty head space can result in working out your problems as well though. Won't be fun, but can be useful. I'd say if you've had some heavy shit and think it's a bad idea, then don't trip. If you've had some heavy shit and want to work through it, get a safe space to trip and go inward, don't be out in public walking around. Getting brief flashes of negative emotions is totally normal for higher doses of psychedelics, learning to let them pass through you and not getting into a negative loop is one of the things that allows you to tolerate high doses without flipping your lid and having a bad trip.

protip :
microdosing kinda makes bad days a bit better.
party dosing turns a bad day into a bad day with an emotional roller coaster attached.
