true! but I've been using one of these tricksy little gadgets to avoid needle phobia anyways, and it works for both subQ and IM injection, so I can let the machine do the deep needle insertion for me.

I've seen and used (on someone else) single-use autoinjectors, which seem a lot less scary than just a plain needle (I wouldn't be able to use a needle on someone else). Cool seeing there's reusable options. Although it doesn't seem like it hides the needle and pressing the button seems scarier than any individual step in normal injections (but at least its just a single step).

it does hide the needle once the plunger is in attack position, which makes pressing the button marginally less scary than piercing the skin manually, for me. but, crucially, this doesn’t require all the extra scary of inserting the needle the rest of the way, and it helps hold the syringe in place, so I only have to think about pressing the button, pushing down the plunger, and yoinking the whole thing back out. it’s not a perfect solution, but it helps me, at least.
