whining about needles
how the FUCK do i get over my fear of needles for injections.
I've been doing this shit for 4 months at this point and I still cannot do it myself (my girlfriend has injected me every time) and today I cried like a fucking child because i was so frustrated i couldn't do my injection because my anxiety was so high.
I hate this but I don't want to do any other form goddamn it.
Maybe i should switch to subcutaneous from intramuscular but i already have like 5 dozen syringes and filter needles.
God this sucks i feel so stupid
spoiler
As someone who was too much of a baby to stick with IM injections I recommend switching to Subq
That's comforting to know. I probably will
subcutaneous is cool get the short tiny 31g insulin one and it wont feel so daunting. You dont have to purchase a box you can ask for a few from the pharmacist just to try.
You should be able to use the same syringes for SubQ, and I would definetly suggest switching as the needle is much smaller. It's not too different from injecting IM, it just adds pinching skin and then injecting at a 45 degree angle into the pinched pocket of skin.
(I donβt even do that tbh)
