I did it! Day 1!!!!

I want to preface this with I have severe OCD that involves medication. I have past trauma involving medication and lack of control as I was a child and a young adult in a pretty bad situation. I also grew up with pretty severe food insecurities, additionally food was emotionally weaponized in my home, and this created a history of binge eating as an adult, add that to PCOS and I have been fighting my own body for a very long time. I know this is a lot of extra info but also a bit of back story why I feel this is such a huge victory for me.

I have had the shots for about a month but we went on vacation. We then all got the crud. I had taken the shot out of the fridge a few days ago in hopes I could do it with a few other people that had announced their first day. But I couldn't do it and so I let it hang out on the counter. I have walked past it and even carried it into a few rooms with me to help (exposure therapy). Today I finally took it. It took about 30 minutes from start to finish. But I was in control and I made the choice. I did it and I am so freaking proud of myself!

I have PsA , PCOS , OCD , and ADHD.

I have been dreaming about this shot since it came out. Years.

So here's to day 1!!!!!!
