The best tip i have is to try to do as much as u can to make it seem like ur relaxing. this can sound vague initially but what i mean is, think of what you like to do when u relax in ur free time. do you like to watch tv in ur freetime/watch youtube/listen to music? do one of those, but you also just happen to be doing ur injection while doing it. it can be comforting to have something familiar playing while doing it, at least for me. i often listen to a favorite album or playlist while i do mine.

i get what you mean about it being hard, especially early on. but the sooner you internalize it as just another boring part of ur routine, the easier it gets.

unless you did something hella retarded you almost certainly didn't hit a nerve and you're just being a lil baby bitch about it. why do you think you hit a nerve?

>>42136507
im gonna try this tomorrow, put on some star trek or something and get half way through an episode before real quick, pop, inject, and over

its possible, i am a pussy in general. i had only a little pain previously, but that time i had a really sharp pain that almost made me jump in my chair and it throbbed for a while after

>>42136470
depends on your personality i guess
i am a bit of a masochist and very much a contrarian, so calling myself a pussy ass whiny ass bitch man if i get anxious or light headed helps to perk me up and regain my resolve
helps to have food and water in my system so that i'm not actually light headed from low bgl or something too. definitely eat food.

>every 5 days
why not do een?

>>42136773
bc I'm a brokie neet and my doc gives me 3 100ml vials of valerate a month. ill ask her about een when I see her in 2 months but I'm doubtful it'll be an option

>>42136470
you didnt hit a nerve, sometimes it just hurts, the trick is to learn to enjoy the pain and keep doing it anyways
if you want something thats never ever painful literally ever just do gel, injections will hurt sometimes but theres no permanent damage and you just have to get used to that and be comfortable with shoving a needle into your thigh every so often anyways
get on enanthate and inject every 7days/10days or undecyclate for every 15/30days if you NEED to inject but dont wanna inject that often, valerate is a mediocre ester given the half life and at 5 days youre having large peaks/troughs guaranteed, the true injection for val to avoid this is every 3/4 days and thats just a total bitch to inject that often

>>42136577
yeah its almost impossible to hit a nerve if you're doing any of the typical injections sites, sorry op but you're just retarded and a crybaby

>>42136470

you probably injected a bubble or a bit of cored rubber stopper. its happened to me before, felt intense burning pain at the injection site for around 30 minutes, that shit sucks.

*3 100ml vials every 3 months, not every month, woops

i'm not too worried about a little pain in general as much as the mental idea of hitting something important. doing IM was a very nails-on-a-chalkboard effect for me with it going through the entire fat layer & then into the muscle w/ that little pang once it lands, so im hoping these 27g 1/2 inch needles into my thigh fat subq will be less so.
>>42136507
another update to this as well; im gonna totally change my injection routine from doing it in the cramped dark of my room to doing it in my living room, on a chair that lets me better clump up the fat of my thigh w/ less pressure and at the perfect angle to dart the needle in. plus, my show is right there on a big tv for mental white noise, with natural lighting. mb im overthinking it but mentally, it seems a lot more of an inviting relaxing space for this.

>>42137044
i will try to do better sorry x.x
>>42137086
probably the former. i inject 3mg/1.5ml but draw 2ml bc of dead space. but when i switch from my 21g drawing needle to my injecting needle, even when i tap it and push out the little droplet, there is usually a little bubble left. i was told that is ok though? its crazy if that little bit hurt so bad but it was also into the muscle so mb thats y

>i'm not too worried about a little pain in general as much as the mental idea of hitting something important.
well youre on 4chan so theres nothing you could hit that would be important
actually fr though there just isnt anything you can really damage like that its just fat and muscle, 1" doesnt go deep enough to damage anything, its just all in your head anon, some will always be left in the deadspace in the syringe, thats fine

>>42137223
this made me laugh lol, thank you. its def in my head and i think ill be able to get over it <3

>>42136470
best solution is when you are ready to inject, close your eyes RIGHT before you shove the needle in. preferably while exhaling too. thats gotten me from half an hour of sweaty agonizing to being done in 10min. its still gonna hurt, but its a small price to pay once per week.

>>42136470
>but id really just like tricks or tips or any advice to not be so anxious about this x.x
Three years ago I had to subcutaneously inject blood thinners because for a broken femur (not trans).
I was/am extremely anxiety-minded, and like you, my hyper fixation on doing it correctly had just the opposite effect.
But I did eventually find a solution: Inject as soon as you wake up.
Inject before your brain has a chance to warm up for the day, has a chance to highlight all the worries and dissonances of stabbing yourself.
So get out of bed, un-grog yourself just enough to have the awareness not to fuck it up, but not the wherewithal to infinitely question what you’re doing.
Hope this helps yo.

since you'll be doing subq it'll probably be fine just due to that, IM is just inherently more painful, also i am using 29g and it's my understanding more g is better against coring and also possibly in general so you could go higher
