Shrooms 4 times this week, go for a fifth I say!

SWIM recently started cultivating. SWIM also loves shroomies, like really loves them.
SWIM was given a gift of about 1 oz. of Golden Teachers last Sunday. SWIM immediately ate 2.5g dried, had a good trip, moderate visuals, strong body/mind high.
On Tuesday of this week SWIM ate 4g dried, tripped very hard.
SWIM's friend came over Wednesday night and SWIM and his friend each took 6g dried, SWIM's friend was tripping balls since he hadn't had them in a few years. SWIM had a very very strong body/mind trip but the visuals were severely diminished. A very very introspective trip.
Did I mention SWIM loves mushies? On Friday night SWIM decided to start with 4.5g GT dried aborts and 2 2" Thailand Cubes Fresh wieghing in at 5g on Friday afternoon at about 3 p.m. At hour 4 of the trip SWIM decides to raid the cakes and picks off two fresh Thai aborts and 2 fresh 2.5" mushies. A half hour later SWIM take 5 fresh 2.5" shroomies and about 6 fresh aborts. SWIM peaks for about 10 hours. Extremely introspective trip, thought about my parents, my childhood, growing up in a third world country, ect ect. The visuals were strong but not crazy strong. The mind/body high was so intense at times that I think I blacked out a few times. That was yesterday. Today I feel great.
Just harvested about 30 2.5" mushrooms today and am highly tempted to eat all of them. What do you guys think? I feel I'm getting to the point where I can control the trip pretty well, I'm in love with the body high and disconnection from reality I get while tripping. I have a extremely addictive personality by the way.

Welcome to the shroomery! So you know, there are some folk here that don't take to kindly to "SWIM", so you may want to ease on that in future posts.
To answer your question imo, wait a lil while. To relate to what you are feeling, Lucy found me recently. We had a jig last weekend and there was a mighty (intense) desire to see how her dance was today, but it was decided that it wasn't the right move - for myself.
That headspace one feels is a valuable place of self growth and holds great potential to realise that we are already what we seek to become. Patience will pay for itself ten fold... you may be able to enter those waters again today given the proper dose and setting, but will your heart, the essence of you, truly be invested in the experience? That is your decision.
Something almost all of us agree with on this site is that magic/reality is something that is worth realising. Please don't be the snake that chases after its tail.
A week's time is adequate, two weeks and you are ok... or you can give it a month and be solid. Find some grass and or brews and stick with some buddies. Occupy your time - watch a movie, play music, go hiking or something. Just remember to be here now.

It is a known fact that abusing mushrooms can cause temporary madness. U may feel weird for a short period of time depending on how much u abused them.
Ure treading on dangerous waters, my friend. Be careful.

You'll eventually build up a tolerance. Probably already have quite a bit of one. I don't know how much your mushrooms weigh or what your situation is so I can't advise rather or not to eat them.
One bit of advice I can give you is that if you do decide to trip and you have a bad time or your expectations aren't met, consider giving it a break rather than chasing it. Listen to the shrooms, listen to your body, listen to your brain. If you cross the line you'll know where it is next time.

The mushrooms are very subtle in the way they effect u from abusing them. There's a good change u might not even notice it, Ull find urself having these crazy delusions, and who knows maybe they're not just delusions, but Ull become obsessed with them so much so u won't know what is real and what is not, and then there goes ur peace of mind.,
I speak from experience, and also there have been many peeps here who've gone through the same shit, some worse than others. Just be careful.

I would take a few steps back and have a break for a while.
Not saying you're an addict, but you seem to be expressing addictive tendencies towards the shrooms, and have said yourself you have an addictive personality.
I'm sure that we all hope psychedelics and other substances are legal some day, and the best thing we can do to work towards that is to live our lives in moderation and responsibility.
Dose jumping, constant piggy-backing, frequent use without time for integration, and a general disregard to set, setting and caution all seem to have you tap dancing on a very thin line.
Keep in mind that as much as you love them, these substances can bite back and give you an experience you weren't wanting or anticipating. If you abuse them, they will do just that.

Thank you guys for your input and thoughts on this matter. I can understand that you guys feel I'm being pretty reckless, and I do admit it's been a reckless week. I have a lot of anxiety issues and ptsd from a deployment that i've been trying to get over for years. honestly I feel more level headed when I am tripping than at a baseline state, if that makes any sense. I guess what I really like about it is the escape from reality, it helps me completely forget about the things that run through my mind constantly. It seems to push away the complexities and reveal the true source of a lot of problems I have. I'm hoping there is some therapy in what I've done this week. I certainly feel it's been valuable.
Against your guys' advice I feel taking one more dose tonight will do me good - I feel good, energized, my mind feels good.
I think after tonight I will take a break from it for a while though. but, truly the epiphanies and thoughts I've had this week have been life changing for the most part.
Again, thank you for the advice guys. Cheers.

I also have anxiety and probably some CPTSD from my childhood. Shrooms are hugely therapeutic for me. I do suggest having a strong support system though and respecting set and setting.
Taking shrooms to take the edge of for instance has rarely worked well for. Additionally, if I'm on a large dose I like to have the house to myself. If something comes up I need time to process and I get distracted I sometimes will feel stuck and frustrated.
Anyway good vibes your way.

Care to share any of the new insights and epiphanies the last week has brought about for you?
I'm not asking in a sarcastic or condescending tone. I think it would be a good idea to talk about in the sense of helping you structure, vocalize, and integrate your thoughts and insights in a way that you can use them in a "sober" mindset and call them to mind when things get difficult.

last night's trip was a doozy, a roller coaster for sure. I ended up eating the entire harvest from my first cake which ended up being 8.5g dried + I added 2 small fresh mushies and about half dozen aborts. This proved to be too much. By hour 1.5 the waves were so intense I began to feel sick. Hour 2 I was heaving in the bathroom. I peaked for a few hours after that, and the peak was very hard and intense visuals for about an hour. After I got past the latter the trip was very pleasant.
definitely feel drained today though, like really drained. I have this personality flaw that makes me want to keep doing something I like to a extreme level until I get sick of it for a while, which is what happened this week with shrooms. Likely won't be tripping for at least a month.
nothing really therapuetic happened last night either so in a sense it was a waste of shrooms considering I took 3 good doses equaling about 10g dried.
The main thing I got out of this experience this week was to just relax. I get so much anxiety when I'm out in public usually that my body tenses up constantly. the shroomies this week taught me how to relax in public. Also made me realize how much I love my dogs and my parents lol.

Feeling the love is good man! Feeling like you wasted shrooms is normal at first. Grow more 
Tea helps a ton with nausea. We don't have the enzymes to break down raw mushrooms which have a cell structure similar to insects. Tea cooks it and removes a lot of the solids.
