I have experienced mexican p.cubes once while traveling in amsterdam.
Prior to my trip i was slightly nervous and paranoid of the possibility of a bad trip.
When I was 16, i was in a terrible car accident (i was driving) and there was a fatality(wasn't my fault, so thats not the issue). Regardless, it was a horrible experience which i will never forget.
I prepared myself before shrooming, allowing myself to look back in retrospect of the event (even though it was uncomfortable).
I was convinced that if i were to have a bad trip, that memory would be the cause.
After ingesting the mushrooms, my mind would "fuck with itself" (before the shrooms kicked in), conciously recallling that part of my life before the trip(eliminating any chance of bottled up emotions).
after a few split second [negative thoughts], i wiped it all out..and began to divert my attention elsewhere. The trip was great(i was with my best freind/gf who always makes me as happy as a little kid on x-mas. Towards the end, when my gf passed out on me (after about 5 hours), i was still tripping hard but began to feel anxious. I had no idea what to do with myself(i was bored). Being in the hotel room alone was not too pleasant(but not terrible either, i just wanted the trip to end).
As i sat in bed, feeling uncomfortable, i began to wonder if a bad trip was coming on. Being that my mind likes to test itself. I started thinking about that accident..to see what would happen.
Nothing, i would think quickly....and then tell myself..."shutup dude..dont be a dick to yourself". Even after bringing these memories upfront while tripping (even though i quickly shut them out).... they really didnt effect me...it seemed like any other thought while sober(i was aware how that time sucked, but didnt care to let it ruin my trip, its was just....a thought-disconnected from the trip).
I thought aboutit,and then went back to thinking about something more productive(what to do with myself alone and bored!).
My question is.
Since i prepared myself..(i was depressed and anxious the days before tripping-almost like flushing out my system, getting the negative out)...and confronted it...as well as confronting it slightly while shrooming..
is it safe to say, that i have a strong "mental hold" on myself? -I searched deep inside the days before. -I allowed myself to let out my true feelings the days before. -and i conciously confronted it during the trip
walking away with the memory of an amazing..fun trip..where i laughed...cried(from laughter)..and just experienced something that I could have never imagined.
All this on a first trip.
round 2 is coming soon.....i feel comfortable..and excited to go again...
what do u guys think?

Sounds like you did a lot of research as to what effects Mushrooms can have on your psyche and really had the intent to prepare yourself for it. This is one of the most important things that a person who is gonna trip can do and it seems as though you did an excellent job of it! 
Keep it up and you will only learn more and more and even if you hit any rough patches, you should be able to deal with it alright and, most importantly, learn from it.
-------------------- Absense of evidence is not evidence of absense... "Religion is a defense against a religious experience" Carl G. Jung "So really, ordinary reality is a kind of chemical habit, sanctioned by culture, which says it's okay to use certain drugs, eat certain foods, and have certain sexual behaviors. However, when you transcend all this pre-conditioning by returning to the original wisdom of the animal body, then you discover this immense dimension of opportunity. For some people, it is a frightening risk. To me, that's the psychedelic experience." Terence McKenna

Sorry if off-topic, but I feel like saying that a bad trip may be the very act of thinking about not bad tripping..
where the thinking of "this is not a bad trip, this is not a bad trip" <-- is the bad trip..

Allthough true,over simplification of said subject.
