Well, last thursday I took shrooms for the first time, and it was going great  but about half way into the trip, I started having severe anxiety off of what seemed to be nothing at all does this mean I'm just not meant for shrooms or what?

of course not everyone experiences anxiety at some time during a trip its especially common for first timers or people who have other things on their mind.

Judging by the fact that you've used mushrooms once, and your avatar is an artist's interpretation of 'expanding your mind', you take things too seriously! Maybe that's why it wasn't what you expected hehe.. have you used any other psychedelics?

it is only through bringing anxiety to the surface of being, which allows us to understand and transcend it

if i solo trip i never get anxious, although if i trip with people there is always some anxiety at some stage during the experience.
does the anxiety you experience on psychedelics help you to understand the anxiety formed in everyday situations?
for me it has..

anxiety is normal, mostly everyone experiences it to some degree. realization of this leads to further acceptance and this leads to the ability to move through anxiety.
when i first started doing psychedelics i would get VERY anxious. especially when i did acid alone for the first time. i smoked some pot and started getting very anxious.. but then i surrendered to the giant rotating mandala vortex that sucked me into the moment. surrender is key, meditate the moment cus the moments what it be.

I almost always have anxiety of some level at some point during a mushroom trip. Those trips that are completely free of anxiety are pretty nice when they come along but you can't always count on them.

and if you do count on them you may just be asking for more anxiety.

The first time I did LSD I got really anxious, then I got stuck in my head "fuck did I really want to do this?" which made it worse. Then I noticed I felt sick and kept concentrating on that until I was. I ran to the bathroom and was throwing up in the toilet thinking "fuck fuck I don't want this" then suddenly I just thought "well hey there is nothing I can do about it now, fuck it I just give in do whatever" and it immediately lifted and I was tripping fucking balls staring into the toilet and it was beautiful. I haven't been anxious on a trip since.
Basically what I'm trying to say is sometimes you just have to learn to roll with it and not worry, you can't control everything so don't try to. When you get to a tough place just stop for a second, look at what you have and what you can work with and just do it. In the case of feeling bad while tripping you can't do much other than just start enjoying yourself so just start enjoying yourself. Its easier said than done but you'll get the hang of it and know what I'm talking about when it happens.
