Shrooms for Anxiety?

Hey all,
What are your opinions or experiences with Shrooms' effect on anxiety? I had quite a negative experience with 'amphetamine' a few years ago (been clean for 2 years) and ended up in a state of psychosis that turned to extreme anxiety. That anxiety is still present today. I saw something on FB about how Shrooms can have an extremely positive effect for highly anxious people. Thoughts?
I'm also diagnosed OCD.
I have never tried Shrooms, but wish I had while I was still in rainy Oregon.

I find psychedelics generally, but mushrooms in particular, make me very very anxious, and I'm not normally that anxious at all. I'm sure it's different from person to person, but pretty well everyone I know gets some degree of anxiety from mushrooms

I recommend micro dosing. Take 0.3 with breakfast every other day or every 3rd day.
-------------------- Only hope can give rise to the emotion we call despair. But it is nearly impossible for a man to try to live without hope, so I guess that leaves Man no choice but to walk around with despair as his companion.

Hey i struggle with anxiety and have on one level or another for my entire life. Mushrooms seem to take my anxiety to new heights during a trip depending on what i am anxious about. There are times where i will quickly realize how senseless it was for me to be so worried and itll be the most liberating feeling as if everything i feared was gone. Others the trip will have me practically in tears tearing apart every defect in my character leaving me pretty rattled for a few days. Either way, after a week or so after the trip i end up feeling refreshed as if i habe a brand new slate to work with. There seems to be a small period of time where you can essentially "study" your anxiety quite easily and get an accurate assesment of what triggers you and why. I mean you can do that anyways but anxiety has a knack of making that difficult. The anxiety will not go away but itll make much more sense to you and your suggestibility will be under control given you trip with moderation.

Thank you Plurlife!
I'm certain that 99% of my anxiety is a direct result of my OCD. I don't have an issue with rituals as much as I used to, but I find myself obsessively thinking. This is where my anxiety kicks in, thinking I misunderstood an important conversation and having to relive old arguments over and over again in my head. Anyways, sounds like a small dose could do well for me.

I would recommend taking a low dose of shrooms. I've experienced anxiety recently as a result of having to live in a new environment and shrooms did an amazing job of curing it. I only took one gram though so that's what I'd recommend starting with. It won't make you trip btw, but it will get you decently high.

I wouldn't recommend microdosing, shrooms are good for anxiety as they will show you the underlying causes and how to deal with it.
Shrooms are also good for ocd and its scientifically proven to be effective.
You might feel anxious on the come up so i would recommend drinking chamomile tea before consuming the shrooms.
I recommend that you take 3.5g dried cubes.
Good luck mate.
