No good anymore

My last few mushroom trips just haven't been good. I don't get stuck in some uber evil trip where I lose it or something, but they haven't really been fun or anything. I'll be kind of anxious or something and it's just not like what it used to be at all. My last one I took a half year off before tripping again and still it didn't help.

set/setting, expectations, state of mind... the answer lies in one of these (or all, or well, you get the point)

My last few mushroom trips have not been 'fun'. This isnt to say they havnt been enjoyable, or bad, or I didnt get anything from them.
In some ways, they were fun - but they also came with a huge 'load' along with them : intense thoughts, realizations that were difficult, fear, intensity, anxiety, a heavier body load than normal.
But, thats just all part of mushrooms - they are not always fun, and they are not always easy to handle - some times they can just be downright difficult and challenging.
But, that doesnt lower their worth any in my books - I get alot from the trips and think they are valuable expierences, even if they were 'hard' to deal with at the same time.
Yes, psychedelics at times can be 100% fun, easy, good times and laughs - however, this isnt always the case, and you need to take the difficult times with the good.
Yeah, in some ways - I wish I could go back to my first few trips where it was all 100% good times and laughs - but at the same time, I 'value' my more rescent expierences far more. I've gotten ALOT more out of them than simply a good time.
There are a million ways to 'just have fun' - but mushrooms are the only substance that can really give me what it has to offer. If I'm looking for a 'fun easy time' - mushrooms arnt where I look anymore.
Yeah, I trip for "fun" still - but I also realize/accept the fact that there is going to be alot more baggage comming along with the trip, and it may not be all fun and games.

Yeah, having a valuable experience is the "fun" of mushrooms. But that doesn't make them "funny".

I can't really give any more advice than the basic stuff because I don't know what you're looking for. Or what you once had with mushrooms that now you can't get anymore. Maybe you should think about what that is, so you can know what it is you've lost, and in turn what it is you're searching for?
Take some time, it'll work itself out. The mushroom will work with you. Just trust in the organism and the experience, and you can find what you're looking for.
Hope you get it sorted.
