The worst anxiety I have ever experienced was from a bad trip that caused intense panic and days of anxiety and paranoia after. Can anybody anecdotally attest to psychedelics helping anxiety?
My experience as someone who has mild anxiety (and always feared having a "bad trip") was that, though I had some challenging and uncomfortable (but ultimately rewarding) thoughts during the experience, the "afterglow" was a couple weeks of enhanced mood and little-to-no anxiety.
