To trip or not to trip/pre trip anxiety

So recently (well over the past several years) i was going through a very difficult phase in my life struggling with physical and mental issues. I started tripping and it did wonders for my healing. Now I am in a much better place, thanks to psychedelics but alse moreso thanks to God. I dont feel like I even need psychedelics anymore, because I have learned so much from them.
However, on my last cactus trip I remember feeling like I must revisit this place. Yet now I am having pre-trip anxiety. My last few trips, I have come back a very different person from the person who went in. Always changed in a positive way but it seems like now as my life improves I am more afraid of change.
The good set doesn't hold true for me it seems. My best trips have always come when I was in a terrible frame of mind prior. WHen I am feeling awful, I have no fear of tripping because I know its only going to help me. When I am happy though, I start to get afraid because I guess I am afraid of losing what I have, even if it to make room for something even better.
I am struggling with whether or not I should trip cactus tonight, or wait til next weekend when I might feel more prepared. Same thing happened with my last shroom trip, horrible anxiety all day until the mushrooms kicked in and then I was like damn, what was I so afraid of? This is awesome, lol.

Based on your past profound experiences maybe this is the right time. You've had the most healing in this same mindset and for you, it could be a sign that tonight's the night. I wish you well and keep us updated.

Well I am brewing the cactus tea right now, whether I will drink it or put in the freezer for next week I havent made up my mind yet.
I just know that this cactus trip is going to absolutely destroy me, probably much more than the last two and I wont ever be the same afterward. How do you guys deal with the fear pre trip? The funny thing is, these days I seldom ever get the fear when I am tripping because somehow when I am in the experience I always find the necessary courage to make it through. But beforehand, boy do I get scared.

yeah I took 24 inches last time and had far and away the most incredible trip of my life, totally life changing.
i think i have decided to wait until next weekend though. I am not scared anymore, just tired. i know if i take it now i wont sleep all night. next weekend will be different because i dont have to work as many hours next week, so i will have had plenty of rest.

Sounds like a plan man. Yeah I enjoyed my 24 inch trip a lot as well, wasn't as visual as i would have imagined but theres just something special about mescaline, such a great body high as well, I always feel primal and in tune with nature. Such a sacred substance.

mushrooms make me feel in tune with nature as well, but cactus makes me in balance with nature, not just in tune with it. I feel that mushrooms work with the soul, whereas cactus works with the mind and the heart. Out of all the drugs I have done, if I had to choose a favorite, cactus would be a potential candidate. Can't really think of anything better.

Cactus is my favorite as well, so easy to manage, waves crashing and receding, awe the bliss
