I've done a fair share of drugs and like you said people are usually what bring you down. Some people just can't handle themselves though. Too many times I've seem people freak out and spiral into a an oblivion. I think it's just all about remebering what it is that is actually happening to your body. If you can't handle your shit then don't take it.

Everyone looses it from time to time but if it's happening consistently then it's probably best to take a small break and evaluate what's causing those fear driven experiences

I definitely believe in bad trips. However, I think it is dependent on the physical biology of the person, not just their mindset.
My first trip on about 1.7g of dried mushrooms was an awful experience I would not wish upon anyone. It felt, literally, like a migraine almost. The only way I know how to describe it is that you're on a train, in the caboose. You're looking over the rails at something brilliant and you want to jump off and see what it is, but you just can't let go. And during the trip, you realize this. Your brain is half-way there and is trying desperately to let go of reality and understand what it is you're being shown. Except, on this low dose, you aren't being shown much anything.
It's like... you're so damn ready to see something and physically and mentally you're trying so hard to get there, but you just can't. To me that is a bad trip. I got to the end thinking "wow, I worked so hard and I just couldn't let go there was so much more."
I recommend people try higher doses based on my own experience because half of an eighth was just lame.
On my full 3.5g trip, there were only a few instances where I felt that the trip was going "bad." I was laying there and I would just get really irritated for seemingly no reason at all and feel really angry. I would just turn over on the blanket I was laying on and look at the clouds or at the trees or something.

If I get anxious while on drugs, I remind myself that even though I do have some problems in life that need to be dealt with, when I'm sober I'm generally not that perturbed by them, so there's no reason to obsess about them while I'm under the influence. Basically, I put my trust in "sober me" to know what he's doing.

That's interesting, I have more faith in "high me" to know what's good for me!

Well, I'm not sure what other people get anxious about when they're high, but for me it's usually just life stuff. Like, the big philosophical questions like the "meaning of life" or what everything "is" are ideas I've put quite a lot of thought into, much of it under the influence, and have come to conclusions I consider quite satisfactory for me. So, thinking about that kind of stuff while tripping is nothing but pleasurable. Anxiety only really creeps in if I start to dwell on the immediate problems I have in my life. Which is where simply putting faith in "sober me" is helpful. Because I can't do anything about my credit card debt or bills while I'm blitzed on acid, and I'm already doing what I need to do to resolve those issues in my daily life. If that makes sense.

Oh that sort of practical life stuff. I don't think about that stuff at all when I'm tripping. I don't even think about it sober, which is a problem.
I'm usually getting all therapeutic during my trips. Analysing my past and how it affects me today and I have to say, its much easier to make those connections while tripping!

Yeah, that and thinking about the nature of the universe and such things are mostly what I think about while tripping, and I get a great deal of pleasure from it. Just, every now and then that practical life stuff will worm its way in and I just have to remind myself to trust "sober me" and that it isn't worth thinking about right then.
