needles are scary idk what to say

im scared to do my first one its been weeks now

>>43883902
retard just do it

its not nearly as painful or scary as youre imagining

>>43883892
>>43883900
>>43883902
You guys are all stupid and I can’t possibly understand how anyone could be scared of injections.

>>43883927
You are stabbing yourself

>>43883892
I wish I could help you with your hrt.

>>43883927
needles are scary idk what to say

>>43883931
Retard it’s like a millimeter thick. It’s less painful than a bee sting.
What are you even worried about?

>>43883904
>>43883927
its not the injection itself im afraid of

>>43883931
with a miniscule needle nona T-T

ive had more painful papercuts

>>43883948
Ok what then? WHAT are you afraid of? You’re not gonna hit bone, as long as you sterilize things properly you’re not gonna get an infection. What is it then?
>>43883937
-_-

>>43883941
>It’s less painful than a bee sting.
What a stupid comparison, bee stings hurt! An injection is a thousand times less painful than a bee sting.

>>43883948
what part scares you nona, maybe i can ease your mind ^_^

>>43883968
i dont know. i sit in the bathroom and cry and cant bring myself to do it. ive got no real support network if i go through with all of this and on top of that im so unsure and full of doubt that any of its even real

>>43883892
i kinda get excited. but sometimes i also forget and fall asleep cause i do it late at night.

does anyone else alternate sides? do you use your dominant hand on both sides or off hand on off side? i find both are suboptimal

>>43884031
>ive got no real support network
Me neither but holy shit am I glad that I’m not as pathetic and helpless as you. I have absolutely no idea how you are going to live a full life when you can’t even do something as simple as this.
>>43884047
I also alternate sides or try to, usually I forget where I did it last and just go off of feeling. Dominant hand with both.
I do it late at night too but I’ve only forgotten to inject once.

>>43884031
idk why the other anon is being so mean to you nona

are you worried you might not actually be a tranny or what?

>>43884057
She deserves it. Hopefully she’ll realize how bad she’s being and will be roused to action.

>>43884060
thats not productive
you cant just mean random people into doing whatever you want

you have to reassure her about the specific points of worry

>>43884031
anyways nona my final advice, you should try it just for a month or two and see how you feel

there are going to be no permanent changes in that time and it might help you make up your mind about which way you wanna go

>>43884057
its ok shes probably right
i think thats part of it i dont know if my "dysphoria" is real or why it took so long to manifest in such a way. idk im terrible at talking about this. i probably wouldnt have ended up with all this stuff if it wasnt partly true

>>43884136
you cant just lay down and let people strongarm you nona, have atleast some self respect

>>43884114
Watch.
>>43884136
Do or don’t. You can’t live your life hesitating. You’re here draaging out every major life choice for as long as possible, and for what? So that you can go sympathyfarm online about how you’re bawling your eyes out? No one is going to save you. It’s just pathetic.
Tonight you either inject or you throw your vial in the trash. Do or don’t.

>>43883892
I didnt have anxiety the first time I did it but im the biggest retard here because I actually developed anxiety after a couple bad pokes
>poke something hard feeling and it hurts and I dont wanna push farther
>leg flinches and it scratchs, it hurts
>bleed a lot, get scared
>terrified of infection

>>43883892
I get pretty anxious when I go in for blood tests. Like to a point where the lady taking my blood said that I look petrified.

>>43884121
but at the same time deep inside i do know that it is the way i want to go and for whatever reason i just cant take the plunge or accept it
>>43884165
thats not my intent im sorry for derailing ops thread goodnight

>>43884245
>im sorry for derailing ops thread
No you’re not. You’ll just do it again to someone else’s thread the next day, and the next day, and the next day, etc. because you’re still giving yourself that option. You’re still giving yourself the option to just wait around and cry and whine and do nothing.
If you were really sorry you wouldn’t give yourself that option. You’d make a choice tonight and stop shitting up other people’s threads.

>>43884245
maybe your just scared about all the auxiliary things around being a tranny nona, but i think in the long run you should take the plunge

the longer you wait the harder it gets so please whatever way you can, force yourself to do it, atleast start and you can always stop if you feel youre heading the wrong way

if your heart is telling you this is what you have to do then do it

i believe in you nona ^_^

good cop
>>43884258
bad cop

When I think I'm stabbing myself I think I'm just being a pussy not doing it and actually finish the injection. When I think rationally that it's less than a mm thick and I'm crying over something old women do for diabetes I think I'm a pussy and fail.

>>43883892
I'm scared of needles so I take pills

>>43883968
I decided to do my first injection on next Friday, since I will be alone for most of the day. I am doing subq with an insuline needle, where do you think I should inject? Tummy or thigh? I still got some tummy fat but my bmi is around 18, so both of options are kinda dreadful

the problem is a mismatch between the negative anticipatory feelings that your brain experiences beforehand and the actual negative impact of the shot (zero). very common psychological issue.

try some of these (the article is for big events, but adaptable to your situation):
