From your own experience, or from articles you've read, what makes you feel better when you're having a tough time on shrooms?
If this thread already exists (very likely), maybe someone can direct me to it...? Sorry, newby...
Thanks!

So even if you're terrified, you don't fight it, you let it happen...? Not everyone is capable of mental fortitude at times of anxiety, though... I guess more experienced users, as they've gone through it before and know how it develops and disappears...
But I'll bear it in mind and try if I have a bad moment.

Chanting? It's worked for me. I didn't really think about it though, it's just what felt right to do.
So going with the flow is all you can do I guess... Sometimes you can get into a bad spot in a trip, but then the whole thing will be redeemed later and it will become really beautiful. I don't really like the idea of trying to kill a trip with valium or something but I guess for some people maybe it's what they should do.

Talk to yourself outloud. There's something you're ignoring and you need to let it out. Only way is to talk it out with yourself in my experience. Mushrooms are a journey and the path is already set. Fighting is pointless. Submission is the key to unlocking that which you already know.
When things go like that I usually end up talking to myself and then replying: "OOOH I like that, I like that a lot." Those sort of things I tend to keep to myself because what's good and right for me might not be good for you.

Killing a trip with downers should be seen as an emergency solution only.
Mushrooms show who you truly are. The more often you kill a trip before it's over, the more do you feed your own fear of this confrontation. If you are looking for a healing and refreshing experience, then downers should be the last thing to think about.
Even worse that some adopt this as common practice. You know where you stand with those..

I find grounding myself in reality is the best method to calm myself.
In the past, ive ran warm water over my hands at the sink or have taken a warm shower. Both really put my mind at ease.
Also listening to ambient chill music really helps too.

It's not only an ancor, it can guide and lead a trip also very well in certain directions.
Peacefull, calm, instruemntal meditation music is good, especially for beginners. Keep set and setting as peacefull as possible.

This is how the Hindu religion treats the ingestion of Marijuana (Bhang):
Wise drinking of bhang, according to religious rites, is believed to cleanse sins, unite one with Shiva and avoid the miseries of hell in the future life. It is also believed to have medicinal benefits. In contrast, foolish drinking of bhang without rites is considered a sin.[7] -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entheogenic_use_of_cannabis#Hinduism
That applies to all Entheogens.
Many in the Native American Church believe that Peyote is a Deity. They pray to Peyote and approach ingestion as one would approach God.
The Nahuas of Mexico call Psilocybin Mushrooms "Teonanacatl" which means "God's Flesh".
Entheogens are the true Flesh of God. Modern day "Christians" call a wheat wafer the "flesh of God". The wheat wafer does nothing, the Psilocybin Mushroom causes the world to quake.
Approach Entheogens as you would approach the true God - that is my advice.

Oh yes indeed it can!!
I feel I need to listen to alot of folk/black metal on mushrooms. I feel it brings me closer to the earth and primal existence. Not to mention the beauty the atmosphere can have while your tripping hard.

You really listen to Black Metal during your trips?
Hmmm. I don't listen to Black Metal at all.
But for some reason Old European Folk music and maybe even Black metal seem like they would fit my mushroom trips perfectly. Don't think I want to try it though.

Hahah yea I do. I feel they go so well together. In a way it might be because how close to nature and the earth alot of black metal lyrics/sound is like. The raw production and very barbaric yet natural tones. Alongside very enthralling atmosphere and melodies. I feel it captures the essence of mushrooms in alot of ways to me and vice versa. Next time you trip maybe put on these albums you may be pleasently surprised

Nitrous calms me down without making it less intense. Also yoga or anything that relaxes your muscles or helps you be in the present moment. Yoga does both. I like smoking an herb called damiana. It tastes good and helps me focus on the present moment.

I have experienced mild anxiety a couple of times during a trip, and one occasion i experienced what i believe people refer to as a bad trip. I wouldn't say it was bad per say, just really uncomfortable as i had never been that high before. My reality was warped and it was a shock to the system, and this created immense anxiety, especially as i had the dreaded thought that i'm sure any other members of this site have had: "What if i never come down?".
What helped me in this situation was typing into Youtube something along the lines of "Anxiety music". I found a relaxing and somewhat repetitive piano piece. Whilst doing this i also searched on here "How to stop a trip", even though i knew once you buy the ticket, you take the ride. I suppose it was desperation. In fact i know it was, considering earlier in the experience i googled "how to stop thinking", which looking back makes me laugh every time.
I found a thread on here when searching for a way to stop my trip and i wish i bookmarked the thread because the original post was quite calming & reassuring. It ended with: "Don't worry, the world had always been this weird, you just never noticed before". This made me laugh amongst the chaos, and that alone brought me down a bit. Of course things were weird, i took mushrooms. What did i think was going to happen? In fact if any one knows what thread that was and could link it in this thread i think that would be great. It may have not even been a thread, it may have been an article or something.
So essentially i chilled out a bit with the music and i also gained a control of my breathing. I suffer from random bouts of anxiety in general and i have found this to help really well when i feel anxiety creep up. Long breaths through the nose and out the mouth. This has stopped me from falling down a couple anxiety ridden spirals during a trip. Also changing my enviroment. For instance, moving from one room to the next. I have also seen other members say this helps them.
In terms of Benzo's, i've never taken one to stop a trip, but i have Xanax at hand. One time i held it in my hand during an anxiety ridden come up. Just having the choice to take it, knowing it would help me caused me to relax. I thought to myself: "sure, i'm getting really nervous... but lets wait a while and see what happens. I have a Xanax after all". And of course, the anxiety went away and i had a great time.
tl;dr: Calming music, Breathing exercises, Laughing & Benzo reassurance

Good advice for nice experiences but mental fortitude as a notion at the very deep end can get in your way......
I've seen conciousness. I've finally let go. Absolution of self. I was scared but now i know.
We are the same. Although impossible to prove. Through veneers of comfort. Death only ensues.
This is a moment. Neither moving nor still. We share an existence. Where death never kills.
I am you. And you are me. Thinking Individual Apples That can't see the tree.
I let myself die. When usually i struggle to survive. I was everywhere at once. Lucid loss of minds eye.

They probably wouldn't work as fast though or be as effective. The fact that benzos are more psychoactive probably allows them to be more effective.
Antipsychotics will most likely just diminish the effects whereas benzos can not only diminish the effects but turn the whole thing around.

This probably only works for me, but I like to use a mirror. For whatever reason, if I stare at myself in a mirror for a few seconds while tripping, everything returns to "normal" for about a minute. If things are going bad, that return to neutral is a very powerful tool for getting myself going towards a good trip again. I also find the bathroom the most comfortable room in a house so maybe that has something to do with it.

I havent had a lot of experience yet but my second trip got pretty damn intense and scary, for a few reasons that I know realize so I wont make those mistakes again; however, I find doing a chore around the house to be really grounding and gives me a task to work on to set my mind at ease to an extent. taking out the trash, picking up all the weird shit you looked at around the house and left on the floor and putting it back where it belongs, etc.
