I’m having so much anxiety 🤦🏻♀️ Had someone inject me. Today have no one still freaking out.
I just did my first Ozempic injection and it took me a full hour to psyche myself up. I found your video and listened to you while I finally did it. I didn’t even feel it! It was literally nothing! Thank you for your video and making this so much easier! 😘
I've been told that I'm pre-diabetic. My doctor told me about ozempic which helps to loose weight. I'm kinda iffy about it and not sure of the risk, and side effects. So I picked up the ozempic prescription two weeks ago and it's just been sitting on the counter, waiting for me to use. I see that you have taken it and still posting up videos so I guess it didn't effect you much. 🙃
Glad to hear I am not the only one with this fear.
I just started on Ozempic and I would truthfully say thinking about it, worrying about the needle and the poke can drive anyone to drink :) But then you look at the needle and think well, that is about as big as what you use to poke your finger with and some of the fear goes away. Its not fun but you can do it - great videos by the way.
It’s not the first time. It’s now after 6 months I grew anxiety towards it
Late to the game here, but THANK YOU SO MUCH for this video. I'm injecting compounded Semaglutide via regular syringes. First one was tonight. I was almost in tears trying to psych myself up. But then, I DIDN'T FEEL A THING, ACTUALLY. NOTHING. NADA. ZIP. ZILCH. Thanks for helping me get over the first-time hump!
I'm so glad I googled you im sitting here crying looking at my ozempic box I've had it in my fridge for two weeks procrastinating 😢 and im not afraid of doctors sticking me with needles, but I've really psyched myself up looking at horror stories on the internet and I have to go to work in a few hours, and im afraid im going to vomit all day, which is what I fear more than injections
Hey I was also diagnosed with LADA recently and have a crippling fear of needles. This video helped me more than any other resource I've found. Thank you for making it.
I'm really struggling to get over my needle phobia ugh I keep having a panic attack almost every time I'm about to get injected
I just can't get over the fact that I'm stabbing myself. I can't get my hand to make the movement to stick myself.
just an update, in case anyone is freaked out about this too, I watched the video, then just sucked it up and I did it! I definitely worried for nothing. The Ozempic needle is SOOOOO thin. I honestly wasn't sure it actually punctured my skin until I moved the pen and saw a tiny spot of blood. It didn't even pinch. Much less painful than a finger stick or even a shot! Glad I just got it over with!
Thank you for this it’s hilarious. I’ve given birth naturally twice with no pain meds and yet this pregnancy, I have to go on insulin and I’m scared of a stupid little needle.
Thank you for this video! It took me an hour to psyche myself and i was able to just do it while listening to you!!!
Thanks for this girl, literally watched this and got hyped up to do my first injection myself while watching ❤🎉🤘
Thanks making this video, it was comforting to know that others have had a similar experience. I have been given a fourth self-injection for my migraines. I have never had a fear of needle but over the course of last year with a lot of blood work, a horrible spinal tap, followed by a horrific blood work experience that lasted more than and hour I find myself starting to panic.
I agree with every single word you said. It's nice to hear someone say things you're thinking, without judgement, who actually understand. I'm still terrified but at least you seem like years later you are in a better place. It makes me hopeful.
Okay leaving this here for anyone else in my position watching this video to try to convince themselves to do it!
I am so happy to find your channel! My doctor is wanting me to consider ozempic, and I’m so scared of needles. I still am hesitant somedays to check my sugar. I’m very
I clicked so fast. I can’t even prick my finger to check my bg. I use the Freestyle Libre.
