Hmm, I will say that usage indoors vs outdoors will result in drastically different experiences, and so you should be careful in evaluating anecdata.
In regards to "making x worse", every trip I've done only seems to amplify whatever thoughts are in my mind. If you're alone, and you start thinking about something that depresses you, you will almost certainly be in a bad place. If you force yourself (/have a friend or two) to explore your thoughts positively, you won't. That applies to indoor trips. Outdoor trips are dominated by your inner feelings about the outdoors. For instance, if you get anxious in the woods sober, tripping outdoors will probably be a bad time. Personally I get overwhelmed by how awesome nature is, so I've never had a bad experience outdoors.
Generally I ended up confronting something in my thoughts every time (anxiety, major decisions, relationships, etc) and seriously appreciated lsd for it. Even a "bad trip" gave me some nice insights.
If you're worried about "bad trips" there are generally two kinds.
1. You realize you don't want to be tripping at some point during the trip, overwhelmed by the high/new perspective. Every time I tripped with someone for their first time, they encountered this to some degree. You have to psychologically prepare to spend ~12 hours in an altered psyche.
2. Staring into the abyss. Having dark thoughts that spiral into more negative thoughts, etc. Usually friends can help here, but ultimately this varies a lot between people. I've been with people where this happened, but I've never gone through anything I couldn't easily talk myself back out of. They all came back to normal, but for some amount of time they each silently freaked out in a corner or similar. Pretty easy to spot if you have a "guide" to trip with. A friend who's done it a few times works best in my opinion, but many people choose a sober trip sitter.
If you have specific questions, I may be able to answer them. I've done lsd probably 3 dozen times, in many different environments.
