More afraid of the jab than before, how?
Hi! I’ve been on Ozempic for about 12 weeks, first 4 weeks 0.25mg, then 0.5mg, now it’ll be my 4th jab of 1mg. I’m super afraid of needles, like absolutely terrified, I’d cry and hyperventilate, etc. I decided to overcome my fears and push myself into getting on Ozempic, and it’s been great so far with losing weight! So, after the 2nd time, I felt really confident and I just did it all by myself for the next 7 times. The 8th time hurt a lot which made me afraid but the week after that was completely fine! Since 2 weeks ago, I’m terrified to actually push myself through the fear. I usually count ‘1,2,3,4 jab!’ But whenever I get myself to the point of pricking, I get so incredibly anxious my hand pulls away. I hate it. I finally talked myself through the fear only to feel more terrified now. I just gave up on trying and went to bed, I’ll try to ask my mom tomorrow morning but I was doing great and I feel disappointed now. 🙁 Anyone got any tips for me?
