Pre-Flight Uncertainty

I've been planning to trip tonight for about three days. Today wasn't a good day but it wasn't terrible either. Part of me wants to trip, part of me doesn't. If I'm not 100% into the trip, should I even bother?

A thing I used to say often was "If you're not at least a little bit nervous before taking a psychedelic, you're crazy."
It's up to you, but being a little nervous before dosing is 100% rational.

It's more like I've been having some negative thoughts and I worry that it might surface in the middle of my trip.
It's a matter of whether I want to confront them or not. But I'm not sure I want to do that right now.
I think if I trip tonight, I'd be setting myself up for failure unless I plan a little better.

If you are in the habit of giving in to negative thoughts when you are not tripping, then you will surely give in to them when you are. Maybe you should first get a little habit going of saying "fuck off!" to negative thoughts when you are sober before you start fooling with mushrooms.

It's completely normal to be nervous/uncertain, I usually just make myself man up and dose all at once as fast as possible without even really thinking about it.
As far as negative thoughts, it depends on why you are dosing. Is it for fun? Is it to solve those problems? Is it to learn about yourself? Shrooms can be very therapeutic if you are experienced to keep yourself away from the downward spiral of the negative thoughts.
Sometimes I honestly like doing psychedelics when I've been feeling depressed for this reason, it can really help straighten you out. That's my own personal experience though so I wouldn't take it to heart.

What helps me is to sit down with just myself for a second and think about what I want to get out of the trip. Then just eat it as quick as possible so I can't back out haha

I always get it man, especially with large doses I spend the entire day nervous as hell, but once you down the mushrooms or smoke the DMT it usually fades Just got to push through and once you take the substance just say "well it's done now might as well go with it"

I agree with the everything that was said. Expecially larger doses, I can spend the whole day thinking about it and convince myself I should or shouldn't do it a thousand times. But once the time to dose comes around I just drop everything right away. Then once I'm tripping I forgot I even had a thought not to dose. Nervousness is normal for sure. Good luck with your trip if and when you decide the time is right.

I've been saying the same thing for 6 months now, I want to trip every day but never kick myself into doing it, I think part of me misses the feelings of bliss and the thought patterns somewhat but if I look deeper I really don't need anything from mushrooms anymore but a high, I think I've learned all I need from my last experience and don't really want to tamper with the power of a true trip it's a giant emotional process and awakening each time some people only need it 1 time in their life. I want to trip but at the same time I have no real reason too is what I keep telling myself
