What can I say, I'm a HI and SP whore. It makes me feel like I'm achieving something special with my mind, and I love the feeling of being so messed up.

I guess that it is a perception thing. For me, HI/SP have always been associated with lucid dreaming, something I enjoy. For you guys, its been associated with fear and disease. Maybe trying lucid dreaming will help alleviate some of your anxiety?
