Just take your time! And you’ll get used to it eventually. I hope it goes okay!

This was a lovely little note to come back to :)

It was totally fine. I wasn’t worried about the pain really because, well, I have to deal with chronic pain and needle pricks have never bothered me anyway but I was worried about fucking up some other part of it. Which I didn’t. So it’s all good.

It might seem silly to for me be the one to give myself a shot, because I have family members who could do it for me, but it’s really important to me to be able to take my own medication. I’m (unfortunately) at a point in my life where I can’t function independently, and have to rely on my family for a lot of things. So just being able to do this one thing for myself is a little step for me back into trying to be less dependent.

Sorry this turned into a whole post about my issues with relying on other people, but I really appreciated getting a reply.
