There's a very unpleasant paranoid scenario I get in my mind at a late stage in each trip now. No matter how calm and rational I go into it, this frame of mind crops up and takes over.

Do you know of any way I can get past this and prevent it from happening in the future? It seems to occur when I start thinking too much and get into a negative headspace. I get irrationally paranoid and in that mindset I come up with paranoid rationale which works against everything I tell myself in order to reassure myself that it's not real, it's just a trip and I don't need to worry, so I can't break out of it.

Please let me know of any suggestions or advice to break through this as I'd love to not have to give psychedelics up. Thanks in advance.
