Opinions - Reasoning Behind Repeated Bad Trips?

[jxc1337]

SWIM recently started to use psychedelics in may 2008 and since then have consumed mushrooms 7-9 times, lost count and have done LSD twice. SWIM would say 75% of SWIM's trips have ended up being bad trips and SWIM has experienced ego death nearly all of the times. SWIM's most recent mushroom trip was near christmas time and was SWIM's most intense trip yet. SWIM ingested 3g dry and then 6g of tea split between three, halfway through SWIM blacked out as did the other two and ended up pissing on SWIM's christmas tree, and then laying in a pool of SWIM's own piss, ego death was experienced once again. Now SWIM's question is what do you think is causing all these bad trips? How can SWIM avoid these? Even though SWIM has endured many bad trips, they haven't deterred SWIM from wanting to do them. SWIM wants to continue to use them but doesn't want to continue experience ego death and bad trips. Anybody have some advice for SWIM

O and btw SWIM was with three close friends and in a comfortable setting and usually is when tripping.
