@ rache2020,
last year I remember writing to you about shifting your attention to breathing https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/28043002#28043002
you probably want to schedule some breath awareness every day for at least a week before letting chemistry do its thing as you just react to the universe. which is how everyone exists in this society - we become automatons reacting to hunger, stimulation, advertising, temptations... react react react.
doing some breath awareness (any kind that is relaxing) breaks the chain.
this small push back (breath awareness effort) is like magic.

newaccounts said: I recommend ice bath three times a week. I think it has benefits that will also improve the chance of you having positive experiences with psychedelics.
That and breath work.
Please back that up with some pictures of yourself in the ice bath over a period of at least a couple of weeks and I might consider it.
Anxiety is not caused by dosage, it is a cognitive reflex to something being experienced in an exaggerated way while stoned, and you get more of that exaggeration when very stoned, and it is different for everyone.
And like any cognitive reflex, sometimes it kicks in and sometimes it does not - same as sometimes you do not remember someone's name.
The dosage increases the resonant duration of any mental content, and this supports re-triggering of thought loops as well as weird physical feelings that seem to drag through your guts or muscles.
And all that pacing etc. is an attempt at self soothing kicking in reflexively in re-triggered loops because of persistent discomforts that really would have just been tiny little bothers, i.e. had they not been made to last 3 seconds each (and then loop incessantly) instead of just 1/4 second (with no loop)...
However, if you manage to observe all your fleeting mental contents (including sensations and visuals...) and how they seem sustained (timewise) and slowly fading, then you can be pleasantly buoyed up by the oceanic feeling of psychedelic mind which, for some, is a direct connection to one-ness, although it is very sensual and full of prana, i.e. perceived energies. All at the same dose, and it can happen that way at a lower dose too.
