When to trip and why

Hello wonderful folks of the shroomery. Life has been a little fucked up for me as of late and i'm wondering which direction to take. In the past mushrooms have had unbelievable positive effects in my life, and i have a pretty easy supply of them.
Now i feel that i am in need of some inspiration again, but i feel some sort of resistance to doing mushrooms again. It might be because i have almost exclusively bad trips, or because my brother was recently diagnosed with schizo effective disorder (i'm afraid i might be prone to mental illness). It may also have to do with my anxiety issues.
I guess i'm wondering if mushrooms are really for me. They've helped me tremendously in the past regardless of all these issues. And i know no one can make this choice for me but what are your opinions on the whole when and why to trip shroomerites?

I think if you're feeling apprehensive, then you should wait. Maybe later on down the road you will feel a little more secure in your situation in life, then take a small dose to ease back into it.

That's what I've heard, and it makes a lot of sense, but i feel like i need a renewing experience. Where can i get an experience like a trip without eating mushrooms and experiencing all that anxiety and stuff?

Stop taking them when you're stressed. You have to be in a calm frame of mind when you journey.
If you bring stress to the dream. It's gonna bend your soul. You have got to let go. Accept peace is possible first. Then let shrooms show you the path.
I hope this makes sense. It's hard to put to words.

Trip because it's fun, spiritual and whatever else appeals to you. You have to ask yourself when, it's not a time to trip. Also how would you feel if mushrooms brought out a mental illness in you? Would you still dose? You have to outweigh the pros and cons, get over the anxiety, then you'll know when its time.
-------------------- If you go down round the bend in the river, You're gonna find a few changes been going down there. If you go down to the gas-powered flatland, Where most of the people just think that they're free, Remember the peace that you had on the mountain, Come back to the love that you had here with me...

I have issues with anxiety as well and a few years ago decided mushrooms just weren't for me. For me acid always seems to be a better time. But if you are anxious or aren't at peace with your life currently, then you shouldn't really do hallucinogens.
Emotions effect your trip in a really big way.

Just make sure nothing major is happening in your life that could seriously stress you out. I've been dosing LSD almost every weekend for the past few months and it's been amazingly therapeutic for my depression. I have such a good outlook on life that I think I'm finally cured of the crippling anxiety and animosity I use to hold. I am going to take a 2 or three week break and finally venture into the 1000ug dose I've been wanting to try

Thank you all for the responses. Careful Rebelution 1000ug is a very high does as i'm sure you know, I've never gone that far but when i did overstep my boundaries with acid it was a very overwhelming experience.
I really don't have anything in my life to stress me out at the moment (other than maybe student loans). Yet i always feel some sort of stress and anxiety. And i'm sure these emotions do have a huge effect on my trips but that's sort of the reason i want to trip, to work through these emotions and delusions of duality etc.
Even if i am in a perfectly calm state of mind when i decide to trip, by the time i get them ready and take them I've psyched myself out so much and had so many thoughts racing through my head the anxiety is back, and it sticks with me for a good portion of the trip.
Decisions man.
