Pre trip anxieties

You guys ever get pre trip anxiety?
I wanted to trip today. Got all prepared. Woke up early so I could get to sleep at a decent time. Showered.
Now I'm sitting here with the dose just thinking about all sorts of crap. Do I really want to be high for 8 hours? I'm alone and don't have anyone to really enjoy it with. Seems to always happen to me. I've chickened out on just as many trips as I've gone through with. I don't know why I get anxious. The only bad experience I've ever had was on shrooms the first time I ever took them and yet I still get anxious.

Yes I respect the mushrooms so much I have gotten cold feet and taken a smaller dose or none at all several times before.

This happens to me as well. I usually always get a little nervous, but I end up having a good time. I had a bad trip once on lsd but never shrooms. I never take shrooms or lsd unless I have friends with me. Every time I am alone I get into some weird vibes and have a bad time lol.

pre trip anxiety I think is part of the whole trip..
man, if I was alone Id have no problem whatsoever to trip by myself... I prefer it actually... I once sit myself down(meditate) on a 7g regular cubes and boy oh boy... I was shown this blooming infinite petalled pure white lotus flower, and while I was watching it, it felt like I was having one continuous orgasm... I never seen it again.. haha

Any time I have the DMT pipe in my hands it feels like I'm in an airplane about to go skydiving.
With mushrooms it's typically the come up that brings on my anxiety.

Yeah I hear you. I struggle with pre trip anxiety as well. Sometimes I will contemplate shit for an hour or 2 before I say fuck it and just chew em up and swallow them. Typically in large doses.

Same, haven't dosed in forever because my pre-trip anxiety is so high, I've always had to force myself to trip, especially after hearing all these demonic stories, and unconscious hell-beasts murdering people on their trips, makes it even more terrifying facing the shadow of your self..
But shit courage always prevails.

Yeah I always get nervous weighing out my dose, somtimes my hands shake like crazy. I started talking to the mushrooms when I weigh them, I herd of some shaman or some one doing it and at first I thought it was funny, now I do it and it helps me feel like we come to an agreement more then me making a decision, its my subconscious trick

Been tripping for over 47 years and I still get pre-trip anxieties. it comes with the territory.

I always get pre-trip anxiety, It intensifies during the comeup to a feeling of dread or impending doom coupled with regret for taking the shrooms at all. This is all additionally magnified by the nausea i get from shrooms.
It sucks however I find that this negative experience actually enhances and intensifies the trip because once you get over the hump and start feeling good there's almost a sense of accomplishment that you made it and I start asking myself "Why was I even worried? Everything is GREAT!"

Very comforting to hear I'm not alone in this, especially from experienced trippers. Thank you guys.
I decided not to go through with it. Head space just didn't feel right and there was a chance I might have to drive later. Not to mention a headache behind my eyes and tripping sometimes gives me a bit of a headache so I didn't want to agravate it.

I don't ever seem to get anxious or worried before taking it (not sure why) but boy do I definitely get tons of anxiety on the come-up.
