Fear of psychosis
I took 2g the other day and had my first bad trip. I’ve done 5 before and got taken to the hospital in an ambulance and had a great time so I thought bad trips just didn’t apply to me. I knew about psychosis risks before but this time I tweaked tf out thinking I was going to get schizophrenia. How common is this shit really? If I’ve ego deathed before and come out the same does that rule out some risk? I know of one 3rd degree relative who had schizophrenia after serving in WW2. Do I just need to lock in and not think about it? I’ve read the papers on it but the numbers are so all over the place I can’t decide whether the risk is negligible or not. Permanently losing your mind is scary as hell and I don’t want to do something that risks that. I just wanted to hear from the community about this bc as much as I love mushrooms, as it stands I’m afraid to ever trip again.
