Update: Injection Anxiety
Hello everyone, I previously posted on this subreddit (go to my profile and see my post about it) about some anxiety about the self injection pens. I have a very difficult time getting myself to actually press the button and haven't taken it in 3 weeks out of fear. Still not sure why this happens since I have no fear of needles or injections and actually don't mind at all getting blood drawn, vaccinated, etc. I also do not have anxiety disorder or have ever experienced anxiety in everyday life.I just wanted to let you all who were very kind in the replies and gave me tips to get over the fear that I have just cancelled my prescription and quit. Well I guess I quit about 3ish weeks ago unofficially. I tried getting my sister, mom, and boyfriend to do the injection for me but I think that made it worse and I backed out of it every time they tried getting near me to actually press the button. I have lost 15lbs since starting Zepebound and am grateful that I got to try it and wish the best for all of you on your journeys but it's just not for me, thanks for understanding.
