Nervous about doing shrooms again?

I just recently took shrooms for the first time, and usually I'm a basket case full of nerves but I for some reason had no fear about taking them and had a really profound experience. I want to try it again a month later, but I'm getting nervous this time for some reason. I had a great trip overall, but it was bad for about an hour because I realized I had work the next day and I was sweating and such, so I called of while I was tripping and I went back to a great one. Is it normal to be nervous before taking them, I have no obligations the next day that I'm planning. Am I going to have a bad trip?

you need to do more research on psychedelics. It is definitely normal to be nervous before taking them. That happens because your ego doesn't want to lose control but mushrooms make your ego lose control. Only in the long run that is good for you.

It's perfectly ok and normal to have some nerves before taking shrooms  You will only have a bad trip if you go with the negative thoughts. Like you have said, it's best to plan it on a day where you have no obligations that day or the next, that way you have time to properly relax, rest, and enjoy your trip. If you ever feel any uncomfortable thoughts, change your setting, music, or activity. Never attach to negative thoughts, try to view them in third person mode and let them go and never go into a trip with certain expectations. Let the trip guide you where you need to be. I always feel like once I get past the come up, it's smooth sailing from there. I'm glad your first experience was awesome. Good luck and good vibes my friend

Make sure you have a safe comfortable place to trip. No obligations the next day. No phone.
Even the worst mushroom trips are horrible only because they hit us on such a sensitive personal level. This is because they only invoke what is already within us. A greater truth. Personal revelations. These are sometimes unfathomably difficult issues depending on your past/current issues.
Facing deep personal issues can turn things south, remembering that you can acknowledge there is an issue to address but now it's not an appropriate time can often snap someone out of this feeling. Asking yourself if it is fair to yourself to deal with anything that is not positive (presuming that is the purpose of the trip) right now.
Sometimes it can simply feel overwhelming, this I find can be alleviated by reminding yourself of the truth of reality, I ate a psychedelic, this is what happens, my body will process this and it will pass.

I used to get nervous before taking psychedelics. Sometimes I still do when taking high doses just because I don't know what my mind will do or think about while tripoing especially on high doses of LSD for me. I do enjoy higher doses rather than low doses. I feel like I get to the entrance to complete happiness and bliss then have to turn around.

One very high dose, where everything is let go of, can be followed up with low dose trips that are very rewarding.

I took about 2.5-3g last time, should I take less or more next then? And is that considered a high dosage?

Those are very subjective questions. I think 3.5g's is a normal does personally. More or less is completely dependent upon you and no one else. All depends on what your looking for, looking to get out of it.

For me and my tolerance, personally 2.5-3g is a high dose. Anything more than that will shoot me down the rabbit hole of the unknown, which isn't necessarily a bad thing I just make sure I'm mentally prepared for that. If you felt comfortable with that amount, then take it again. If you want to explore further, then maybe up it to 3.5g which is a "standard dose".

I got nervous when I was going to trip for the first time. I got super scared and said... I'll wait. I waited until the followings weekend and I'm glad I did. Drugs effect your brain and your mood can effect your emotions (think of people who start drinking when they are depressed... they usually become a wreck). I say don't think about it at all and take a trip with out any expectations just be in a good mood!

Good preparation, environment and mindset is key. I'd say take it when you not paranoid about having a bad trip tbh.
