Does that sound completely CRAZY? Or what..?

So...,
I used to trip A LOT and had like virtually NO anxiety (well, I was a teen BUT it was only a 3-4 years ago.. )
BUT STILL.
So after a few.. experiences.. I got crazy anxiety.. into benzos (not that bad off and on and only low dose to help me sleep).
& completely stopped tripping.
With anxiety comes fears (because your brain attempts to rationalize the anxiety) such as bugs, intruders, etc.
This was all stuff that I was FINE when tripping (acid, shrooms, dxm), I was able to FACE them and center myself (refocus on something else, don't pay attention to the bugs), intruders (thinking you're in a war zone but it's OK because you're able to center yourself, position yourself away--mentally--from all the chaos).

Does that make sense? Obviously it opens you up to become even MORE traumatized but what if I was able to face my fears and get rid of my anxiety? I was just reading my "trippin notes": Focus, center, you are you, you are complete, you're OK, feel your inner self, you control YOU, let this take over, it's OK.

I was even thinking low dose hippy flip you know to kind of ensure that positive vibe? But, I feel like I should already have that in the inner ME and not even need to artificially produce that?
 
Not crazy at all. In fact, there is a study out there that says that low dose mushrooms reduce fear-conditioning in mice. I microdose mushrooms from time to time for life awesomization/antidepressant activity. It's a good idea. Don't do it every day, though. Take breaks, or do it once every three days or something like that.

I can't speak for low dose MDMA, but I can tell you that low dose mushrooms certainly feels sufficient for anti-anxiety.
 
I have had some really tranquil experiences wandering around nature on shrooms especially lower doses. Larger doses usually give me anxiety on the come up but after the peak it mellows out, lower doses I don't feel much of any anxiety on the come up, if I do it is usually mild.

I don't know about MDMA it never did much for me so I only tried it a couple of times. Just not my cup of tea, I guess.

Your post made me ponder anxiety, What is it..? I might have to ponder on it next time it rises. Also makes me wonder what paranoia is ? I think they are closely related.
 
Thanks guys!!

I was really over thinking it (imo) -psyching myself out.

I watched CirDeSoliel?? And the Wizard of Oz (new one) and it was amazinggggggg!!! Just overall GREAT experience. Wish I dosed higher.. wanting to stay that kind high.
 
Low dose mushrooms are very under rated, as said above virtually zero anxiety on the come up, very gentle and non overwhelming, some times used in this way they are just perfect.
