Looking for advice for my first trip

Hi, I've not been on this forum in a long while but im back as I'm really stuck in life and feel I must give psychedelics a go.
I did try microdosing briefly a few years ago and made a couple of posts about it at the time but I don't feel I made any progress or felt any changes from it.
I'm looking for advice firstly on what strain of mushroom and what dose would be a good starting point for my first trip and secondly who ideally would be best to have around during the trip?
My reason for wanting to experiment with mushrooms is a have some issues with anxiety, trauma, probably PTSD, and a complete lack of confidence and self esteem. Currently I am avoiding life.
I have had many many years of talking therapy and struggle to make any changes or feel differently despite having some understanding of my problems.
Could anybody suggest a good strain and dose to try and is it best to do this on my own or with somebody around? I don't feel I have any friends that I feel comfortable enough with and it would feel a bit strange doing it with a family member who I already have emotional issues around.
My final concern is a am an overthinker. Whatever drug I take I over analyse it's effects and I begin to get very anxious. Any advice on avoiding this with the mushrooms.
Thank you

A cube is a cube, and in my experience all strains are essentially the same. Every trip is unique and strains IMO are more of a marketing device.
For a first dosage I would recommend 2-2.5g if you have 0 experience with psychs.

2 grams would probably be a good starting point. I always preferred 3.5 grams to start but I like things to get all bendy and getting sick was worth it to me. I actually remember feeling so awful and puking non stop while crying because I was laughing so hard and saying that I've never been so happy before.
If you have someone that you aren't afraid to be yourself around, thats the person to Have around while you trip. Even better if that person trips too. Just do all your prepping. Make sure you wint need to go to the store for anything. You don't want to drive and even if you walked, the idea of talking to strangers (especially sober ones) really freaks me out π
. Sometimes it gets awkward if you're tripping in front of sober people because they don't understand what you're going through and it can make you self conscious. You can trip by yourself but if you start to have a bad trip you will have to get yourself out.

If you're not in a good place mentally, there's a good chance that you're going to get focused on this during your trip. This can be a scary thing.
You can do one of two things. Either find some way to distract yourself from those thoughts or use it as a spiritual experience. Face your worries head on and welcome them open arms. Embrace them and really dig deep into why they even matter so much that you're letting them control your life. If you find the answer to that you may find the way to cope that you've been looking for.
Good luck.
Oh, get some chewing gum with a good flavor that you like. You'll want to have it handy cause if you're like me and you grind your teeth, your jaws are gonna be sore AF in the morning.
