bad trip ?

hopefully someone can help me learn from my most recent and very unpleasant mushroom experience. i ate 1gram dry followed by 1/2 gram lemon tek. the setting: me , my wife (who would pe pissed off if she knew i ate shrooms...) , and my 2 sons ages 13 and 8. i was looking for a mild trip slight visuals and a mellow mood. I've done this amount before with no problems. as the shrooms started to kick in an overwhelming feeling of anxiety and paranoia took ahold of me. i went outside and got a breath of fresh air. the visuals were intense and i started to freak out. i was afraid of going crazy or my wife finding out i was tripping. all sorts of crazy shit was going through my head. i kept telling myself it will be over soon and to remain calm...ect. i thought i was going to go crazy. this has never happened to me before. any feedback on what i shouldn't have done or what i should do in the future will be appreciated.

you secretly took shrooms in front of your wife knowing she would be upset about it?
no shit you had a bad trip. sorry to be blunt about it.
next time tell her. never keep secrets from your life partner. she should be able to accept your decision to expand your mind but not when you do it behind her back.
good luck next time.

that was what i was thinking. the whole time i was trying to act "normal" and it backfired. i figured i could treat these things like just having a few beers and enjoy a nice buzz. definitely not going to do them for a while maybe their just not for me....

yeah, in no way is having a few beers akin to taking a few grams of shrooms. i dont think you should give up taking them if you enjoy it, you just have to plan accordingly.
micro dosing might be more in your wheelhouse if you want to just chill and spend time with the family. but i cannot stress this enough: please talk to your partner about your curiosity with shrooming.
shrooms can be "fun" but they deserve your respect and can not be taken lightly (no pun intended)

It is so easy to convince yourself BEFORE taking mushrooms that you will be able to act normal amidst people not tripping. In over 35 years tripping, I have never managed this! Every time I have tried, I have regretted it! And my wife is onboard, though she never trips herself. Totally honesty with your family is a must.
Set, setting, and dose; the three most important variables that affect a trip.

I can't trip around someone if I don't want them to know I'm tripping or if I know they aren't accepting of it. Although I have been in public tripping, it was generally at shows or fests where I knew people would be fine with it. If you're trying to hide the fact you're tripping, it just makes the paranoia shoot up exponentially. Like others said, pay close attention to where you are and who you're with. If you think something is gonna bother you, it probably will. Better to be on the safe side anyhow.

thanks,looking back i am disappointed that i took the mushrooms in that setting but i am also grateful that i was able to experience that. to be totally honest with the amount of anxiety and fear i was having it changed me mentally ( for the better). i basically found out that i am not as strong mentally and spiritually as i previously thought. good life lesson i hope the next one is a pleasant one.....
