Feel mentally weaker

I remember just last mushroom season I felt pretty mentally strong whenever I ate mushrooms, I could easily control my mind and keep myself in reality enough to communicate to my fellow trippers and enough to think, but lately whenever I think about taking mushrooms, I feel like I could just go right into a trip right then, and my mind starts fucking with me and it really feels like visuals are coming on. I don't know if its just me being paranoid, but I feel like I won't be able to control it next time, and ego-loss is gonna take me away.

Just give yourself some time and self meditation before you trip again. Maybe a few months...

Remember changing "set and setting" is extremely effective at changing the style of your trip. Another option is to eat less so you have more control.

Hen was the last time you tripped? Experiencing anxiety when considering shrooming doesn't necessarily mean that you'll have a bad trip. You may find that you have a lot more control (emotional control to let go, that is) than you're thinking right now. I'd ease into it with a low-moderate dose.

Its been since last novemeber that I've ate a large dose. I did Salvia once since then, and that mindfuck was enough to scare me.

Mushrooms are powerful - ive found that trying to stay "sane" and trying to keep your present personality/mindset while tripping is too difficult. Yuo gotta let yourself go. Controlling a trip is difficult, imo, and bring anxiety with it. Not sure if that answered your question

perhaps u have anxiety because on your last high dose trip you were approaching ego death and couldnt let go. this may have been subconciously but fighting definately causes tension anxiety and a hard trip. perhaps you need to delve back in and fully experience the ego death as it can take more than one trip to fully have ego death. you may be unsettlled from this and in need of the final step. in essence you will die and be reborn and feel incredible.
