      I still find it a bit scary, I always take a couple really deep breaths before I take the injection to make sure I'm calm.

        Yeah I've found that just like, doing it. Like giving it a decent amount of force and doing it quick is the best way.

      That's very normal. It took me about 3 months to get used to the idea of shoving a needle into me. I actually straight couldn't do intramuscular because it terrified me too much. Subcutaneous is ezpz for me though. Definitely something hard to get used to, like putting in contacts or what have you. Once you get used to it, it's not so bad.
