Not sure if any of you remember me, but I was on here a couple months ago. I did my first extraction and was super eager to try it out. Well maybe I should've been more patient cause even though I don't exactly remember the details of my last trip, every time I even think about DMT I get this weird feeling, my heart starts beating faster and I get nervous even though I'm not even planning on doing it. I'm not sure how I can over come this fear and venture back into the realm... I know I want to go there again someday though.

I have experimented with shrooms a couple times since then and now and have had some great experiences... my last one in particular was the best I've had just off of ONE STEM, and I can say it showed me the path I needed to take to improve my physical and mental health. I've also noticed I like doing shrooms by myself a lot more than with others since others seem to distract me from my thought patterns, not allowing me to reach as deep as I could.

Anyways, I'm happy to be back not sure how many weeks/months/years it will take for me to get back into DMT but I will be on here studying in the meanwhile.

One stem can be quite powerful, depending on the strength of the mushroom and the size of the stem!

Regarding the decision to trip solo or with others; it depends on the quality of the others. If in doubt, solo is safer. It's nice to have others around, to help each other if necessary, and to express excitement about things, but I'd prefer them to be the silent type overall. :-)

I am also more of a solo adventurer...with the one exception being my girlfriend. But we live together and are very comfortable around each other in those "weird" moments that occur in trips sometimes...

That fear is within all of us man...once you feel the power of DMT it is hard to forget it. Clearing your mind and breathing exercises can help overcome that anxious/nervous feeling (pre-flight jitters). Stating your intentions and being willing and able to accept what is about to happen goes a long way too. I am pretty much terrified before going back into hyperspace but I am always glad I did...

Yep, I am also scared everytime I am about to take a hit. Then when it commes in I instantly feel relieved from all my stress. I think to myself : "aaaa now I remember ! Why was I even scared ?! This is wonderful !" Well, maybe not literaly with words, but that is what I feel everytime.
