What Causes Anxiety Attacks After Taking Psilocybin?

I never knew what anxiety was I never even heard the word I wish I did! Cause five years ago I took a drug called shrooms a psychedelic I was young and stupid but when I was on it I had a bad anxiety attack that turned into a panick attack since I didn t know what it was at the time I just thought I was going crazy soon it wore off as the next day I was getting anxiety a lot sober since I didn t know what anxiety was I still thought I was going crazy and was going to snap ! I spent a couple of years crying and scared and battling threw the thought of me going crazy but then eventually someone told me I just have bad anxiety so I looked it up and it ends up that it was just anxiety the whole time and me not about to go crazy ! It helped out a lot and my anxiety aren t bad anymore and I rarely get them .. But since I thought I was going to go crazy for so long that thought still goes to my head and gives me anxiety and I hate it cause I know I won t go mad but sometimes think it can happen .. Any suggestions?
