Just gave myself my 1st self injection and it was SO EASY :D

Like, seriously. It was WAY EASIER than I expected !!!

A nurse or my partner used to give me the shots in the glutes. But it made me pretty anxious because I know there’s a risk of hitting the sciatic nerve there. I knew the thigh was much safer, but I just couldn’t bring myself to do it.

10 minutes ago, I finally did! And I kind of regret waiting so long lol. On top of that, it hurt way less than in the butt. 😂

I wanted to share this post for anyone who’s still hesitant to start self-injecting or afraid of doing something wrong. I promise it’s not nearly as bad as it seems, and you’ll feel really proud once you’ve done it yourself. It’s just a step to take, like jumping off a diving board. You just have to take the leap!

I know it might sound a bit silly to get this excited over something so small, but I feel invincible now. :D
