I did mushrooms alone the other day. I took 1gram around 5pm. I didn't feel much, I assumed because I had eaten an hour or two before. I took the same mushrooms and lemon-teked them and made tea with them again and ate them (not sure if that does anything but I was trying to avoid using more). An hour or two later I decided to just do another gram. My anxiety was bad and none of my other tricks were helping so I got in the shower and I ended up tripping in there and it was perfect. Now I'm wondering if the first dose did nothing cause I was anxious. There's been some triggering events happening lately and I was starting to crash with pain and anxiety.

I noticed that if I closed my eyes it was just darkness and bad thoughts. Not a happy place in my head. But if I kept my eyes open I had the lovely visuals. Normally I close my eyes and go into my own head to escape the 3d world so it was interesting that it was actually safer out in the world. I was talking through everything out loud to myself while I was in the shower and, since I could see the fractals and the "glitches" happening at times I was telling myself not to worry too much about how things appear right now because it's all a simulation anyways. I was happy and giggling. I love the giggles I get on mushrooms! I used to get those with weed at first and that benefit is gone so I'm so happy to have it again!

I feel like the trip only lasted an hour or so because it was mostly over by the time I got out of the shower. And then I was hit with a ton of anxiety and pain again and couldn't sleep. Melatonin didn't work, 3 weed gummies finally did.

I'm doing them with some friends this weekend!

Is there any harm in tripping once a week? Not big trips, I think I'll stick to 1-2 grams for awhile.

Do you prefer to trip alone, with a partner, with friends?
